I caught JLW a couple of times back in the '90s and after meeting him at a gig, we spent a long evening singing Son House songs together as he regaled me with first-hand stories of Muddy Waters, Earl Hooker, Fred McDowell and Magic Sam. Joe invited me to join him onstage at his CD launch the following day. A friend took a photo of the event but bizarrely, it was accidentally developed along with someone else's roll of film (I never found out who that woman was!):

    Neat! I'll print this and go over it next time I practice. That's a fun song.

    Can't say for sure, I found this cut on a compilation and just ended up looking for it on YouTube later on. I think it was later released under miles though.

    How about some lesser-name but fine artists?

    I grew up with harmonica player Corrin Huddleston. We were young blues freaks living and hangin' in the People's Republic of Brooklyn---late '60s-early '70s. He was a guy everyone looked up to then for his playing and singing.

    He went on to become a busy pro, playing the full run of several Broadway shows and working as a rep for Hohner, traveling the country demonstrating their products. He showed me some harmonicas I never knew existed, like a huge bass one.

    But the core of his playing has always been blues, and I'll let his playing speak for itself with a recent performance (he also has a youtube channel, if you like what you hear):



    The youtube channel where he's featured way more:

    The original version of Folsom Prison Blues Cash cribbed from Gordon Jenkins’ “Crescent City Blues,” which includes the opening line “I hear the train a’comin’; it’s rollin’ ’round the bend.” Cash forked over a reported $100,000 after Jenkins sued him for copyright infringement.....if I shoot a man in Reno, NEVADA, what am I doing banged up in a CALIFORNIA State Pen?not only settled out of court for 75 grand, but that Gordon Jenkins would receive all future royalties for the song, PROVIDED he did not go to the media about it. That was the deal. This would have been a big blot on Cashs career, at a point where he had a hit TV show and was about to come out with a book about how Jesus had "Saved" him. Maybe it wouldn't have been a big deal if Folsom Prison wasn't his THEME song that opened all of his shows

    Why do people do that? Stealing someone's music is a really low thing to do.

    It would be in very bad taste to put my own track up here, so I won't---but say that I arranged Folsom as a slow blues---and it works! Great song, 'liberated' or not, and terrific source material.

    To Zina: 'Musicians are all the biggest thieves'---John Birks Gillespie

    It's when you do it on the sneak and don't credit (or, worse, don't pay) that you're crossing the line and asking for trouble.

    But, hey, what would the blues be without trouble?

    An old oracle once told:

    If you only got 3 chords, you sometimes try to "steal" a fourth one.
    You carry it carefully under your belt,
    run home, bang it on the table
    and find out that it's just another G7

    Hi Mark, your video-choice takes me way way way back...

    Maybe we should forget all that "jazz-stuff" and kick off a Bloomfield/Winter Revival Band
    . Have fun.

    Always loved Johnny Winter. He could really tear it up.

    This cut is from one of his last records ("Roots") and the video contains many pictures of Johnny (and brother Edgar) as a kid.
