Comment:

Dock Boggs sings a song called Country Blues it used to be known in the country as Hustlers & Gamblers.This is #4 in a series that i am proud of.The Country blues is about sinning drinkin', ramblin',railroading,gamblin' and blues that come from women.This mix has gospel in it because i think those songs are important to the man with the country blues trying to make a change and he may find pleasure in the gospel after he has repented.I think this is the best one so far,it's a good series if you like the blues of poor country folks.Like me!

The Otis Taylor song is my favorite on here, but I'm sure it's mostly all good given the quality of songs you choose.

Your vast knowledge of American roots music does us all a good turn by bringing up vintage, forgotten, or relatively unknown artists/tunes along with more famous ones. Another great chapter in your "book"!
