Description:

This vivid oral snapshot of an America that planted the blues is full of rhythmic grace. From the son of a sharecropper to an itinerant bluesman, Honeyboy’s stories of good friends Charlie Patton, Big Walter Horton, Little Walter Jacobs, and Robert Johnson are a godsend to blues fans. History buffs will marvel at his unique perspective and firsthand accounts of the 1927 Mississippi River flood, vagrancy laws, makeshift courts in the back of seed stores, plantation life, and the Depression.

Foreword


Acknowledgments


Preface



All the people flowed to the Mississippi Delta



The water overflowed her heart



I kept that guitar in my hands



Honey can play now!



I wasn't going back to them fields



The world don't owe me nothing!



I was just up and down the road



I had three ways of making it



Everything sounded good to me



Robert was crazy about women and crazy about his whiskey



We was all just country boys



Daddy, you can be my lemon squeezer!



I didn't give a damn about nothing



I had to go back to Coahoma before I got found



He didn't know how good he was



We did so good together, I kept her



The blues is something that keeps you moving



It don't always matter how good you play



Chicago used to be a music town



I never doubted myself



I just got lucky when I got Bessie



I stayed with the blues
