Thanks for preparing those Cedar Creek Sheik cuts, Blues Vintage. I don't know if anybody else feels this way, but the fact that those recordings ever happened makes me happy. They always put a smile on my face.
All best,
Johnm

I had not heard these.  What a surprise!  Not that BBF and other blues musicians would do country tunes, they played to an audience, but that the quality of his voice is so different - very country.  (At least to my ears, maybe I'm hearing things)

From Wikipedia, so take it with the appropriate grain of salt. If you find more details about him, please share:


"Philip McCutchen (February 14, 1910 – October 7, 1964),[1] credited on his records as The Cedar Creek Sheik, was an American hokum and blues singer and guitarist who recorded in the 1930s.

McCutchen was born in Suttons, Williamsburg County, South Carolina, near to Cedar Creek. Little is known of his life. His only recordings, of which ten tracks were issued, were made in Charlotte, North Carolina for Bluebird Records, on June 15, 1936. Several of his recordings, including "Buy It From the Poultry Man (Cock For Sale)" and "I Believe Somebody's Ridin' My Mule", were bawdy examples of hokum music, while others mention local situations and personalities. He sang in a "high, almost expressionless" voice, sometimes employing a yodel. Though some critics have thought him to be a white rather than black performer,[2] he is recorded as of "negro" race in census records.[3][4]

McCutchen died at 7:55am on October 7, 1964.[1]"


"Buy It From the Poultry Man" might make Bo Carter blush.

Thanks Lindy, no wonder, I completely misread the post!  Lol.

It's hell to grow old.   

[Johnm]

I very much agree with your original point, Slack. Cedar Creek Sheik sounds much more country or hillbilly to me than blues. His whole sound and way of expressing himself feel so far out of the mainstream, really eccentric.

Sonny Jones - Won't Somebody Pacify My Mind




Sonny Jones - Love Me With A Feeling




Sonny Jones - Dough Roller

[Johnm]

Thanks for preparing and posting the Sonny Jones cuts, Blues Vintage. He's a musician who has been under-represented on YouTube, and I was able to add those videos to the appropriate songs in the "Sonny Jones Lyrics" thread.

[Blues Vintage]

Great, coincidentally Oscar Wolf (Gang Wolf Lightin') just posted "Dough Roller" on his channel.

Does Fuller play on all these tracks?

[Blues Vintage]

No, kinda weird compilation from JSP. Bluesmen playing sort of in the syle of Fuller maybe.
There are no photos of either The Sheik or Jones that I know of.
