The Rest of Billy Bird

By request here are the other four sides by Billy Bird. Mill Man Blues is a solid blues number, almost the equal Down in the Cemetery. The other two sides are Alabama Blues part 1 and 2. Theses numbers are based off Jim Jackson’s Kansas City Blues, thought they aren’t near as great as that number. Part 1 plays off T for Texas and Part 2 is a little more vulgar, and I think the better take of the song.

Billy Bird – Mill Man Blues (1936)
Billy Bird – Alabama Blues Pt. 1 (1936)

On one side is “Down in the Cemetery”.

On the other side is “Mill Man Blues”.

It sounds like he’s playing the riff to “Crow Jane” for “Mill Man Blues”. I don’t mean Skip James’ unusual version of the song. I mean the Carl Martin version.
