		<title>Hell&#8217;s Highway</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two tracks today from Charlie Burse &#038; his Memphis Mudcats. Burse isn&#8217;t known outside of his work with the Memphis Jug Band as a guitar player and sometimes spoon player. Document&#8217;s new release of his complete record works outside of the Memphis Jug Band show a versatile talent and one that&#8217;s equally Lonnie Johnson as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Even To Atlanta, GA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Had a couple of comments via web/email about the wonderful Irene Scruggs &#8211; so here are a couple more tracks. Irene Scruggs only recorded a small batch of songs &#8211; 12 or so under her own name, another four with Clarence Williams and his band and the songs with Blind Blake. She would only sing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Married Man Blues 2 &amp; 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally got around to picking up the 2010 Blues Images calender. Like last year they still insist that the images and music are all from the 1920s, which isn&#8217;t the case. This year&#8217;s disc is a better compilation of rarities and classics than last year so you have Charley Patton&#8217;s High Water Everywhere, Ida Cox&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>You Have A Hatchet Under Your Pillow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I kinda like Twitter. Follow Me. I&#8217;ve also added some social media links to my posts to bug all your friends with.
I&#8217;ve posted about Lonnie Johnson a bunch on this blog, he&#8217;s easily one of my favorite male blues artists &#8211; and his ranges of styles makes him appropriate for any day. A good cross [...]]]></description>

		<title>Did You Ever See The Devil?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tompkins Square has put out the first major anthology of the Red Fox Chasers, a North Carolina String band that recorded in the 20s and 30s. All&#8217;s not well with this 2-disc set however, which is shocking as People Take Warning is one of my favorite box-sets of pre-war music and Fire In My Bones [...]]]></description>

		<title>She&#8217;s A Hard Boiled Rose</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lot of really wonderful pre-war discs came out towards the end of the 2009 and I missed them all. Of course I get emails promoting pretty much everything BUT pre-war music so I&#8217;m playing catch up now. The first of these discs is Gastonia Gallop, a collection of pre-war country/folk songs from Gaston County, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Treated Me So Unkind, I Swear I Lost My Mind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These are my favorite types of murder ballads &#8211; ones that start of as a typical blues sing, in this case &#8220;You Hear Me Knocking&#8221; or  a &#8220;Lost My Woman&#8221; style of blues song, but around the halfway mark it turns darker &#8211; Leroy Carr kills his woman for running around with another man. This [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oh Airplane!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was recently told that I shouldn&#8217;t use a space between blog headlines and exclamation points. Such things were taught in 1st grade. I wasn&#8217;t aware of how far our first grade education has come since the advent of Web 2.0. This blog style guide has been updated and enrolled in the 1st grade.
I am returning from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Laffing Rag</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are alive. Still listening to blues. 
I&#8217;m pretty bad at self-promotion, among other things as readers of this oft lapsed blog might have noticed. I wrote a piece for a book called Hang The DJ about female murder blues ballads. You can pick it up at Amazon now! I did a reading of it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Take Me To The Water</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the kind wishes on our marriage, we had a great couple of weddings and a week of bliss in San Diego and La Jolla  which was just what was needed after a couple of months of insanity trying to close on the house and planning the wedding.
I picked up the new Dust To [...]]]></description>
