Fixin' To Die Blues - Bukka White

Listening to a lot of Blues stuff at the moment and picked up four 2CD compilation albums at the weekend stuffed full of classic tracks, like this one, originally released waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 1940 and later covered by Bob Dylan. Of course people like Bukka had a lot to be blue about in 1940 and that comes across loud and clear in early Blues tracks. Music doesn't get rawer and more real than this and in a world that's rapidly doing away with anything 'human'...what could possibly go wrong with that eh?...I find it all strangely comforting.
