There’s One Thing That Worries Both Night And Day

Truth be told I’m currently obsessed with Thin Lizzy’s Jailbreak and the Ohio Player’s Fire – but I’ll refrain from posting selections from those albums today. There’s been a couple of requests for the Lonnie Johnson songs I’ve mentioned recently – so here is a trio of sides from easily the most versatile bluesman around. Death Valley Is Only Half Way To My Home is one my favorite blues songs of all time – and one of the most moving pieces of music I’ve ever heard.

Lonnie Johnson – Death Valley Is Only Half Way To My Home (1930)
Lonnie Johnson – Headed For Southland (1930)
Lonnie Johnson – Southland Is Alright With Me (1931)
