Followed your directions to the treasure trove and found the John and Ruby Lomax 1939 Southern States recording trip sound documents. Oh my.
Thanks for all the links, people. Some incredible music out there.

just finished editing a long piece about this very topic yesterday. i'll post a link to it when we actually publish it. the writer in question -- the great john morthland -- suggests a lot of pre-blues stuff that's really fantastic. he also quotes this lucille bogan lyric: "I got nipples on my titties as big as your thumb/ I got something between my legs make a dead man come."

that sounds incredible!

just so ya'll don't think I'm crazy for posting that Bogan tune - notice the lucille bogan lyric quote where the OP replied "that sounds incredible!" so it is what they were asking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_blues

Thank you! Listening to Europe '72 especially I can't help but feel just how much was lost with his death. Even if the band was still phenomenal without him there's clearly stuff only he could do.
