It was music which had been brought up from the Mississippi delta by migrating post World War II Negroes and hardened and toughened and electrified and amplified to suit the dance halls and mean streets of Chicago, and it thrilled me to the very depths of my soul. To a dissolute white kid from the mean streets of a concrete housing estate, this music seemed tailored to echo the way that I felt - Fred McCormick on discovering The Best of Muddy Waters (on Pye International), in a world of Cliff Richard and Helen Shapiro

Some Old Lonesome - Day Artists & Track
« on: June 01, 2016, 06:01:46 PM »
Hi all,
I'm searching for the artists, it's a male and female duet, and track for a song most likely titled "Some Old Lonesome Day"
or possibly "Some Day, Sweet Day". I had it on a reel to reel tape as a teen recorded from one of the 2 jazz (and blues) radio shows available in Sydney Australia in the 1960s. It's in 8 bar blues form, laid back, medium tempo. most likely 1930's. East Coast style?  I can't find it on line. or eMusic , iTunes. I remember first two verses:

Some day, sweet day, some old lonesome day.
I'm coming home to you baby,
Some old lonesome day.

I was born (where a-bouts?) in Georgia,
But I hang around Tennosee
I got a gal in Georgia
Partner she's crazy 'bout me.

Thanks for your help.

Sounds like Lonesome Day Blues - Blind Willie McTell, Curley Weaver and Ruth Willis, if I remember it right:



Weaver and Willis did it as Some Cold Rainy Day:

Thanks Frankie, you found it. Lonesome Day Blues by Blind Willie McTell is the one. Have found on iTunes.
The track lists Ruby Glaze as the singer. Helps to know the correct title. Many recorded variations on this song.
I will add it to my repertoire now I have all the lyrics.
Cheers
