I read that Mr jefferson played a 12 string guitar too carry more clout too his gigs. I'm pretty sure those weathered hands may have been his. All in All its pretty moving music. Seems like being a bluesman brings on bad luck, Robert Johnson poisoned and Jefferson abandoned in a snow storm.

Blind Lemon and Charlie Patton have a very similar sounding voice. No one sings with this kind of soul anymore.

I recognize the same basic tune used by Son House for his "County Farm Blues."
Of course, I am pretty sure that Lemon came up with it first, considering that he was born quite a bit earlier.

Never heard this song before.
Just made my top 3 favorite songs. Rare if you know what I mean when comparing to current "music".
