It seems appropriate that I should leave you with this great blues song recorded in Memphis on 20th February 1930. Mississippi Joe Callicott accompanied Garfield Akers on his recordings but regrettably was only allowed to record two of his own songs at the session. As a result of the great depression, the demand for records fell and Callicott never got the chance to record again during that period.
Thankfully he lived into his late 60's and during the 1960's blues revival, Callicott was rediscovered and allowed to record at more length.
From 1930, this is 'Fare Thee Well Blues' .
