The HOOK!

I was telling a friend of mine the other day about what I think "real" blues or old-time is...  the thing about blues and old-time, when it's properly played, is that you know WELL and CERTAIN that someone has gotten or is GONNA get some.

Both are true of the Hook.

Here's a nice one by Blind Joe Taggart. According to Dixon, Godrich & Rye it was recorded c. October 1928 with probably Joshua White on g/v. I think I'm only hearing one guitar.

Hi all,
Here's a treat:  Hattie Hart, backed by Memphis Willie B. (Borum) and Allen Shaw.  Check out Allen Shaw's singing of the last verse.
