The two people who voted thumbs down, know nothing about great music.

@Ashykins07 There's a auto repair shot here in TN called "Crossroads" about a mile from my house.

This is amazing. How can someone listen to this and not be blown away? He is a legend. I feel blessed to hear this, and that his music is still living on.

Quite the debt Led Zeppelin owes these men. I hope they built a big retirement home for them, took care of all the medical and dental bills too. (They can afford it!)

@jameskirkajfa son house actually invented that rumour ^_^

[Dippides]

Definitely the best blues song ever!

@nintendosincebirth not sure about this one although I wouldn't doubt if it were a true story. There's a song called Mississippi County Farm Blues that was written about his time in prison and how he got there for killing a man in self defense.
