The first time I … The first time I dropped the needle on a Blind Willie McTell LP, I couldn’t believe my ears. I thought I’d accidentally left my turntable on 45 rpm!
Statesboro was … Statesboro was quite a different place in those days…at least it helped influence a great song from a great bluesman. Great American music right here.
I got a collection … I got a collection of Blind Willies tracks on Vinyl Picture disc truly great music oh and im 22. And all great rock music needs to draw from the blues.
Another , Laughin … Another , Laughin Charlie, I think title is “When my wife drove me from her door”
Also Frank Stokes, Shiney Town Blues, superb, the fiddle break, so bluesy.
