Further, Handy could not play jazz, Morton said, as he was unable to execute "plenty of figure work in the groove ability, great improvisations, accurate, exciting tempos with a kick" - from Alan Lomax, The Man Who Recorded the World, by John Szwed
Here is an audio only track from my new "Road's Gettin' Muddy" CD. Mary Flower and I do a vocal duet on a tune originally recorded by Lonnie Johnson and Clara Smith in 1930. This was recorded live in the studio onto analog tape with Robert Burgeni on stand up bass. You can get the CD at CD Baby and downloads on iTunes or CD Baby and hear song samples as well. Mary and I do another duet on the Carter Family tune "My Dixie Darling" on the disc. Hope you like it. James Clem Portland, OR

Samples on CDbaby sound good. Great song selection, always loved that Little Walter song done by John Mayall too on that legendary 66' album. I'm getting an error on the YouTube video. Maybe cause I'm from Europe?
A nice track indeed! I had to get around the ban to see the video here in Germany.
Cheers

What do you mean by I had to get around the ban?
YouTube and the German copyright organization GEMA don't get along. More and more videos are banned in here. I sometimes use a program called YouTube unblocker to see the videos. Lately it has been unable to open many videos, though. I believe there are other such programs, but downloading them from dubious sources might be somewhat risky.
