I attempt to play Scrapper Blackwell's "Blue Day Blues" in my live set. The cliche´ ridden lyric (even by blues standards) shouldn't really work - but it somehow does the business. Baffles me really - but I love it. I tend to come back to Mississippi John Hurt. The guitar playing is simply out of my reach of course. What I most like about the man is that he could sing about the most appalling disasters yet you can always suss out a smile behind it all. Nobody else quite gives me that feeling on record.
