A slide blues inspired by Texan bluesmen Blind Lemon Jefferson, Texas Alexander and Ramblin' Thomas.

"You say a white boy can't know the blues. During the Depression I'd sleep in ditches and know if I died that night no one would know what I was or where I come from" - Harmonica Frank Floyd, from Colin Escott and Martin Hawkins' Good Rocking Tonight: Sun Records and the Birth of Rock & Roll.
