The last of the original Delta Bluesmen

[DiamondEcho]

I found this very interesting, it gives one insight into how Delta-blues later evolved. Gets interesting some way in where the bluesmen start collaborating with some white 'rock' guys in preparation to perform, and end up as the support act on an Iggy Pop tour!
