King Solomon Hill – “My Buddy Blind Papa Lemon” (mp3)

King Solomon Hill, determined to be the late Joe Holmes, left us just six haunting blues songs, all recorded in 1932. “My Buddy Blind Papa Lemon” describes the pain King Solomon Hill experienced when he learned of the death of his friend and fellow musician, which he crooned on his bottleneck guitar. You can hear the hard drinking and rambling life in his wavering lyrics and sliding fingers.

Geechie Wiley – “Skinny Leg Blues” (mp3)

This song was recorded in circa 1930 in Wisconsin, and is a testament to the minstrel phenomenon of blues as it moved up the Mississippi. Sung with the utmost passion and love of humanity. Sit back and really absorb this open source recording.

Henry Sims – “Tell Man Blues” (mp3)

Henry Sims was a talented multi-instrumentalist from Mississippi. His fiddle work next to the famous guitar playing of Charlie Patton made him a well known musician in the rural south. This mp3 is 1 of 92 tracks he recorded during that time. Muddy Waters, Son House And the Big Delta Four were other known artists he collaborated with. I want you to remember Henry Sims for sure.

Walter Rhodes – “Leaving Home Blues” (mp3)

“Leaving Home Blues” is not only a rare recording, it also features the ONLY African-American accordionist to be recorded in 1927 – Walter “Pat” Rhodes. Rhodes’ unusual choice of instrument caused him to be largely ignored by the blues community. There is little evidence that Walter ever recorded another side in his life. But this track is gr8.
