We all get them, you just wake up in a funk. Not feeling good, worried about the day, or maybe don't even know what the problem is. Today's song is just about that, waking up and feeling blue even before the sun comes up. For anyone looking for real blues, down home, delta style, this is it. I give you Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell performing "Blues before sunrise"
These two are responsible for some of the most important blues numbers around. Probably most famously, How Long Blues, one of my personal favorite tunes. This album is a compilation of songs they recorded between 1928-1935, so this is the hard stuff. The quality isn't perfect, but it doesn't need to be, the performances are plenty electrifying to make you forget all about the buzz and scratch. For those of you who like the one song, here is the whole album, for free download. Just click the link and then click begin download now or whatever on the right side.
