Bukka White, vocal and guitar.

He did six recordings this day for Vocalion and O'keh Record Co. together with Washboard Sam.

To play the old Blues in a "new costume" is common, but I don't care as long as it's good and above all the Original is presented !
Peace Brother !

I'm Bukkas' latest fan, I heard that this name was a misprint on his album and ended up sticking with him as a nickname, even though he was rumored to hate it ! More trivial crap to look into, I guess. Someone said that this some resembles Led Zeppelin? I agree and think that this song sounds an awful lot like 'Bron-Y-Aur Stomp'. Devil in a woodpile does a mean version of this old classic.

I loved that scene where he was air picking along while recording the "Soggy Bottom Boys." You just knew he could play it in his dreams and probably often did!

I'm very proud to present Elizabeth Cotten or Libba as she's called among her relatives. I have contact with them and as an old Blues Lover from Sweden, it's fantastic to have these friends, cause the first fingerpicking tune I picked up from record in the sixties, was just Freight Train by E Cotten, and my mission here on youtube is to keep the old blues and gospel alive.

Another aspect is she hold and play the guitar "backwards". Some people do that, but she also tuned the guitar to fit her voice. Remarkable.
Thanks for a good comment as well as listening.

I lived near to a railway line that conveyed coal from the top of the Ebbw valley in South Wales down to Newport town,where it would be shipped all over the world. Sometimes I would go with my brother and sister to see the trains passing through. We waved to the driver and guardsman.We would come away singing 'freight train'. Fab to know who wrote this song. Bless her and the miners who slaved so hard.

Patton's daughter Rosetta looks afro-american with a touch of cherokee... I guess ;-)

Never drove a car, lived most of his life without electricity. Only "re-discovered" in 1963. Played Newport Festival in front of hundreds or thousands of people, but nothing fazed him; just chatted, smiled & played. Then got fed up with people fighting for control of his recording, so he just went home & died in his sleep in 1966. A great artist. Rest in Peace. Thanks for posting this.

The existing YT clip only shows 1.15 and excludes virtually all the exceptional guitar work. (btw this latest character counting feature in YT really sucks!
