I used to listen to the blues really stoned and when I played this video I thought it said heroin instead of “herwin”lol. These songs take me back to listening to them on KZfaq with my dad just a few years ago. My dad was 50 years older than me but I was the one who got him into blues, me being a guitar player I discovered blues on my own. He showed me a lot of music including jazz, world music, classical, and even got me into classic 50’s and 60’s stuff. He also knew a lot about art and I owe him for my own sense of aesthetic. The fact I showed that man these beautiful songs and got him into the blues will always be something I’m proud of. Even though he only has a few songs available, Willie brown is among the greatest of blues musicians. The song is supposedly about infidelity, “I’ll make it so your man don’t know” but my dad pointed out to me that make me a pallet on your floor is actually about letting people into your life. It’s about having friends and loving the people that you have around you. This recording captures that feeling perfectly while also kind of having that rustic blues feel.

Even though these days we are constantly reminded of the nastiness that comes out of the Internet and social media, this is the kind of comment that makes me fall in love with the Internet all over again. How else could I look up and listen to a song from nearly a century ago, then scroll down a little bit and read a lovely story about someone's personal experience with that song and what it meant to them. You and your dad sound like cool people.

I worked with a bluegrass/blues duo many years ago...The Hudson Bros. David and Bruce. This song brought the house down down every time, God bless you Willie, Dave, and Bruce, may the Ocean roll and Blue Skies follow you.

Your only going to find those in Clarksdale, Mississippi. I live here and know where the real crossroads is. But it's not at the new hwy 49 and highway 61 crossroads. Its almost directly in front of Bad Apple Blues Club on Issaquena Ave. If you want to see it we have a miniature blues fest on September 30.

This is THE Willie Brown. WILLIAM Brown (Ragged and Dirty) used a resonator guitar and didn't have as growly and deep of a voice. This is clearly a regular acoustic guitar and the sound of it actually resembles a lot to Future Blues and M&O Blues if you listen closely. In this song he also uses a lot of lines from Kid Bailey's music, which people say Kid Bailey was supposedly Willie. "I love you baby cause you so nice and brown", and "I love you baby, tell the world I do, I don't love nobody in the whole world but you" that was in Kid Bailey's Rowdy Blues. And finally of course, this is the B side to a Son House track..they had to be cutting each side of the record sitting right next to each other, they did play together for years and were close friends. WILLIAM Brown took up both sides of his records and was probably recorded on a different date. Not to mention he had a more fingerstyle Piedmont blues sound than straight up good old Mississippi Delta. - your welcome for the debunk :) I'm telling you I have a good ear for music!

This is the later Willy Brown not Willie Brown who recorded Future Blues and M & O Blues. Completely different guitar and vocal style and sound.

The Willie Browns are the same he quoted his other song by saying tailor made aint no hand me down from future blues or m&o one of the two plus even though hes singing clean the growl is still there

@nudge2626 4 жыл бұрын

It is Definetly the same Willie Brown. He recorded it with Son House during the libary of Congress recordings. Kid bailey is a different person though it is highly likely willie brown is playing backup guitar on his recordings. The willie brown that recorded mississippi blues, east st. Louis blues and ragged and dirty is a different person recorded in Arkansas. To make it more confusing one of the unreleased recordings by Kid Bailey was a version of East St. Louis blues recorded by the different Willie Brown over a decade later!

Not so sure. He sings differently (this is not blues) but seems to me the same guy. Guitar playing is quite similar too.

This sounds a lot like Freight Train by Elizabeth Cotton, I wonder which came first?

@Contact_Info 6 жыл бұрын

good question, prob this, but I dk for sure, according her, she composed “Freight Train” as a teenager (sometime between 1906 and 1912). 1st recorded in 1950's so its what you believe. certainly willie didn't steal it but could be other way

They remind you of each other in part because of the III chord. Using III was very rare in blues whereas it was downright common in about 1895-1915 in non-blues black folk music, such as these two songs.
