All the old blues, folk, and country I love!
Ed Bell - Frisco Whistle Blues (1927)
Elmore James
John Lee Hooker
Black Snake
The Country Blues Of John Lee Hooker
John Lee Hooker - Black Snake.
Slow Mama Slow, by Sam Collins (recorded as Salty Dog Sam, 1931). “Sam Collins (August 11, 1887 - October 20, 1949) was sometimes known as Crying Sam Collins and also, according to one authoritative website, as Jim Foster, Jelly Roll Hunter, Big Boy Woods, and Bunny Carter…” Source: Wikipedia. I just love the slow moaning slide work on this.
Bobby Grant - Nappy Head Blues (1927)
“Very little is known about Bobby Grant. He only recorded two songs and was one of the first delta bluesmen to record. Both his songs were recorded in December 1927 in Chicago.”

Carolina Slim - “Pour Me One More Drink”
I would like to thank Carolina Slim’s existence for the blues record bounty that I’m going to come home with on Record Store Day. His name helped me make a very important friend.
