@GSUPanther2001 In 1930, the 78 RPM standard wasn't firmly established yet. Speeds ranged from 60 to 130 RPM, and 70 RPM had actually been fairly common for quite a few years.
It sounds like he's using an open-key D tuning (slightly flat; they didn't use tuning aids), which was *very* common for old rural bluesmen. Thus, it sounds right when played at 70 RPM.
@prewarblueslabo Sounds Interesting for sure...and the lyrics are much more clear, but I'm curious as to how the "most probable speed" for this and other recordings that have been done is determined. Could you explain that simply, or would it take a few pages?
