I kept waiting for "The enemy is everywhere" to kick in at the end of this

Jack White – We’re Going To Be Friends
Here's to all of our new friends. Well, Lou Diamond at least.

Linkin Park – Numb
I have mixed feelings, to say the least, about this music at this point in my life, but Bennington could actually sing.
Skip James – Hard Times Killing Floor Blues
I changed my mind, and decided this fit my mood better. I'm not sure what that means, and really I didn't have a plan for this week, but the blues seems to fit just right. This song has a way of haunting me round and round, so I figured I should share it with y'all.
one more cut, not live, but great.
Big Joe Williams – Sloppy Drunk Blues
If alcohol won't help solve your problem, maybe this will.
Son House – Death Letter Blues
Srsly, bad, baby, bad.
Abner Jay – Midnight Special, The Blues Is My Middle Name
Nope, I've still got it bad.
Abner Jay drove his one man bandstand all over playing his brand of the blues, and while the above isn't really a concert it's the only real footage I can find of him playing live.
A more polished listen to his talents.
Sister Rosetta Tharpe – Didn’t It Rain
Hot diggity, if this doesn't cure what ails you then noting will. Also, Sister shreds in some heels.
I was deciding between these two, and what the hell, you get both. You're welcome.
R.L. Burnside – Poor Boy A Long Way From Home
Oh, folks, I got it bad and that can't be good.
Okay, for reals, I have very, very mixed feelings about the Lomax recordings, but without them we wouldn't have some of the best documentation of the delta blues.
Honey Island Swamp Band – Devil’s Den
What would meat week look like without a post that was a day late and a dollar short. (and a video I've already played once... )You're welcome.
