I guess I’m not the best on keeping up with pre-war blues news, but this is still exciting - a long lost Son House recording was found recently - Mississippi County Farm Blues/Clarksdale Moan from the 1930 Paramount recording sessions. Yazoo I guess snatched up the rights to the recording and will be releasing it later this year on “The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of” which I reckon will have a bunch of found and rare recordings. As a side note, Yazoo should hire me to update to their website which seems like it hasn’t been updated since last winter. I smell a perfect joint venture.

St Louis Jimmy Oden recorded under the name “Old Man Oden” on a handful of tracks, which has got to be the worst blues nickname I’ve ever heard. It is a fitting name, however, his voice is aged beyond his years due to substance abuse. This track has him backed by Roosevelt Sykes, in one of his finest accompaniment tracks.
