[Notes]
76 year old one-legged bluesman rediscovered in stinking poverty in 1963 by two young blues enthusiasts. Now with no legs left he expresses pleasure that one is carrying a guitar. Within a few weeks he records an album for them on reel to reel tape. The voice wavers occasionally, the guitar playing can be erratic - but sometimes beautiful - and some of the songs are little more than single-entendres, but the piece is an absolutely fascinating listen.
