You hear these songs, and they're incredibly moving. But when we talk about it as being raw or authentic, it discounts just how hard this stuff was to play and how musically sophisticated and innovative it was. There's a sense of almost remarginalizing it by talking about it as this primitive music that sprung up in the cotton fields, when in fact, it's incredibly skilled and impressive music - Amanda Petrusich, author of Do Not Sell at Any Price: The Wild, Obsessive Hunt for the World's Rarest 78 rpm Records

Blind Blake's Black Dog Blues

Here's an attempt on another difficult but fun tune....  I think this was the first Blake tune I fell in love with lots of years ago.

Not only well played and sang, but excellent tone and something rare, solid slow peaceful pace. Not rushed... damned fine. Kind of stuff I enjoy listening to.
