It's a shame that was the only video of the song on Youtube, because it sounds too hollow.

I am a professional musician and I appreciate the blues. There are a lot of truly talented blues artists out there if we just care to find them. I used to (and need to try it again) take my mountain dulcimer and tune it for blues music. I love to play the Basin Street Blues on it.

Pooh, this is a heavy blues song by Nina Simone. The base of it is very basic, simple even but very powerful and spot on.... Strike, hit and down I go. I'm superhypersensitive but somewhat older now. Be careful with this song if you're also very sensitive.

John Lee Hooker should be here as well, imo. ~I'm going upstairs~

Just a spinning record as a video but a nice blues song by Willie Mabon. Written by Willie Dixon by the way and released in 1955.

Bukka White was imprisoned in Parchman Farm Jail (a rough prison commemorated in a few blues songs) for, if I remember rightly, stabbing someone (although I may be getting mixed up between him and Leadbelly). This song, about being in prison, was recorded while he was serving time by Lomax.

This song was recorded by him before he was in prison.
