One of the greatest Delta blues names, quite forgotten by blues fans until few years ago, brings us a small treasure with sixteen songs This has been possible thanks to Blue Suit label, which decided to reissue it after more than twenty years of the original publication David Honeyboy Edwards began his musical activity when he was only fifteen, singing and playing guitar with Big Joe Williams, but soon he shared stage, tours and friendship with blues stars of that time, such as Robert Johnson, Charley Patton, Tommy Johnson, Son House, Tommy McClennan, Sonny Boy Williamson or Robert Petway In 1941 he recorded for Alan Lomax at Stovall Planation, jjust the following day Muddy Waters did it too These recordings were published bt The Library of Congress later on More recently there were also reissued by Indigo and Travellin’ Man labels Now enjoy as much as you can with the original 1987 recordings with a unique real deep ‘raw power’ Mississippi Delta blues musicians and four more ‘bonus’ tracks
