Great stuff! Jesse is the primo one man band! He taught Bob Dylan the rack harp style in Denver. Dylan's cover is good but you can't beat the original! Plus Jesse is playing everything here, including his invention - the fotdella, a foot operated acoustic bass. Jesse was very influential in the sixties. Fans may want my brand new book - Head, Hands and Feet - A Book of One Man Bands. Message me if interested!

I hear this music, and the last thing it makes me want to do is argue in the comments section.

You must be an idiot not to realize that Dylan's first album was a medley of mostly classic folk and blues songs, with some originals. He didn't steal, he just covered songs. People accusing Dylan of stealing must be oblivious that Dylan loved classical folk music and blues. To the guy saying Dylan is mentioned every time Guthrie's name is mentioned, you are dead wrong. I knew Guthrie before Dylan. Dylan loved Guthrie in his early years. If Woody had never been around, neither would have Dylan.

Bob Dylan is a thief, but all musicians are thieves. Thing with Dylan is though, he doesn't give enough credit to the people he stole off, and the way he rushed to Woody Guthrie's bedside as he was dying is a disgusting in my view. It seems like a publicity stunt. Whenever Guthrie is mentioned now, so is Dylan...

It's a known fact Dylan's been lifting stuff his whole career and excerpts of his books too. He's done great but was never all the way original. I give him tons of credit and he's always touring, wonder when he'll toss in the towel and rest on his laurels before he goes into another slump artistically like he did in the 80's?

@cocaineanddildos He covered him, and gave him credit. Plus, Bob Dylan kicks this guy's ass.

This came from Dylan's first album. He was 19 years old and not yet a prolific songwriter and many of the songs on that record were old folk-songs and songs that he'd learned from other people. His House Of The Rising Sun's chord changes were learned from Dave Van Ronk and Dave said that he had to quit singing it because people kept saying,"You learned that from Dylan."

@cocaineanddildos Yeah cause with a name like "cocaineanddildos", you're totally going to be taken seriously.

@cocainanddildos Missing the point completely, the album that it comes from is laced with covers or in Dylan's case interpretations. He never hid the fact that the songs origins came from Fuller....research mate, research

@cocaineanddildos Dude shut the fuck up. Bob Dylan loved some of Jesse Fuller's songs. Like you would fucking say that about Dylan, he's a legend, just like Jesse Fuller. Now fucking do one.
