I do not own the copyright to this recording. This video is for historical and educational purposes.

Nothing is known about Big Bill Dotson, who may have been from Texas. He only recorded one two-sided record in 1952. And what's even sadder about things is that the flip-side of the record "Sittin' Down Thinkin" wound up being issued on the 1961 LP for Crown Records, "Lightnin' Hopkins Sings The Blues". At least someone figured out later that this wasn't a Hopkins recording.
