Two tracks today from Charlie Burse & his Memphis Mudcats. Burse isn’t known outside of his work with the Memphis Jug Band as a guitar player and sometimes spoon player. Document’s new release of his complete record works outside of the Memphis Jug Band show a versatile talent and one that’s equally Lonnie Johnson as Skip Jones.

This is great stuff. Is it true that he played uke really well? (I don’t hear any in these 3 songs.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Burse
