Canned Heat Blues

Canned Heat Blues

Tommy Johnson

Recordingdate : Friday 31 Aug. 1928, Memphis Tenn., Vi V38535, Victor, B-side : Big Fat Mama Blues

Note :
Tommy Johnson was a great country blues singer in Mississippi, in the 20:th and 30:th.
It's difficult to reconcile Johnson's drunkenness and his difficult emotional with his wife, Maggie Campbell, with the artistic poise of his singing.
He was one of the most consciously artistic of all the Mississippi singers.

Enjoy !!!
Peace !!!
