That's a shame, too bad they didn't have connects with RCA or Sony during the mid-'90s when there seemed to be money for this kind of stuff.

Tefteller wanted to do a new T Johnson release and to use 1950s era photos of Tommy which his family has but want unreasonable money for usage. Probably there's not much incentive to release a complete TJ CD in 2024. We gotta make our own.

Agree totally about the Yazoo releases, though I think some tracks have been superseded by tracks on the CDs that accompanied the Blues Images calendars.
Definitely – I've tried each year to update various playlists with those tracks as they come out. Hope Tefteller keeps the CDs coming even though the calendars have stopped.

Thanks for the catches, Blues Vintage, I incorporated them all. Yes, he was a really smooth player.

The guitar playing is real fluent.
Not sure about 1.1 could also be a little more. He sings quite fast.
1.1 "Wake up in the morning, -little woman and- love me little more."
3.1 "Wake up, baby, -and- love me little more."
A SOLO after the 2nd verse?

Hi all,
The late Peter Lowry recorded James Putmon in Charlotte, North Carolina on March 22, 1979 for the Trix label, and the song, "What's Wrong With My Baby", never made it on to a commercial release. Putmon accompanied himself expertly in E position, standard tuning, and it's a shame that he did not make many more recordings. Here is "What's Wrong With My Baby":
INTRO SOLO
Told my baby, said the night before, "Wake up, little woman, and love me little more."
CHORUS: What's wrong with my baby? What's wrong with my baby?
What's wrong with my baby? She don't want me no more
SOLO
Give you money to pay your bills, come home last night, won't rob and steal
CHORUS: What's wrong with my baby? What's wrong with my baby?
What's wrong with my baby? She don't want me no more
SOLO
Told you last night, I ain't gon' tell you no more, "Wake up, baby, and love me little more."
CHORUS: What's wrong with my baby? What's wrong with my baby?
What's wrong with my baby? She don't want me no more
SOLO
Edited 4/25 to pick up corrections from Blues Vintage
All best,
Johnm

Cross Road Blues Take 1
Robert Johnson – Guitar, Vocals
San Antonio, Texas
November 27, 1936
Spanish Tuning
INTRO
I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees
I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above for mercy, now “Save poor Bob if you please"
I-ee, standin' at the crossroad, tried to flag a ride
Wi-ee-ee, I tried to flag a ride
Ain’t nobody seem to know me, babe, everybody pass me by
Standin' at the crossroad, baby, risin' sun goin' down
Standin' at the crossroad, baby, i-ee, risin' sun goin' down
I believe to my soul, now, poor Bob is sinkin' down
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
That I got the crossroad blues this mornin', Lord, baby, I'm sinkin' down
And I went to the crossroad, mama, I looked east and west
I went to the crossroad, baby, I looked east and west
Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman, ooh well, babe, in my distress {despair?}

Who's to say we can't make one? Does anyone have any claim to these 100 year old tunes?
in many cases, yes, and certainly the folks who have spent a ton of time and money remastering them over the years have a claim to their work. Nothing stopping you from making one for your own self, of course!
