Thanks for posting this.  I have the album on vinyl.  Here's a link to the booklet that came with the LP which includes notes and photos:

Great stuff. I have the big bill broonzy story on a three cd compilation. Same thing, he's talking about growing up, influences.
Funny, he mentions a lot of names, almost always ending with. "he's dead now"
