Some righteous shit on a sweltering Tuesday night during these dog days. I spent an hour today reading Light in August and listening to this song on repeat.

I've simply fallen in love with Laura Gibson and her new six song EP Six White Horses: Blues & Traditionals, Vol. 1 . It's quiet. It's haunting. It's full of covers and reinterpretations. But it's also wonderfully original. And I love it. I'd like to just stop here and let my brevity stay the course, as it does on the EP, but I'll add a little more to try and get you to love it, too. The texture of Gibson's guitar work stays fairly true to the original blues compositions, but she [...]
Does the singer catch the song or does the song catch the singer? Blind Lemon Jefferson , writer of "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean," hit with the tune on separate recordings in 1927 and 1928, but was dead of unknown causes by 1929. I like to think that maybe the song was trying to catch up to him. In a tragic irony, Jefferson was buried in an unmarked grave until 1967. However, it wasn't until 1997 that his hometown of Wortham, TX ... in conjunction with the Blind Lemon Jefferson Memorial Project ... [...]

Blind Lemon Jefferson (September, 1893 â€" December, 1929) is another one of those prewar bluesmen that I consider a hero of the blues because he was so influential. He was one of the most popular blues singers of the 1920s. His style of playing was fast and intricate and he sang with a high pitch that you sometimes here modern bluesmen like BB King and others use. He had the most influence on the Texas blues sound, some say he is the founder of that sound. And another reason to appriciate his music in because he influnced Texas bluesmen such [...]

Justice (Perverted Or Not!) Is Blind
To be perfectly honest with you, I had nothing to talk about today. Just when I was about to give up and start complaining about music and movies, a gift was sent from the heavens in the form of an exclusive from The Smoking Gun . In a just published story, we learn that a former producer of NBC's "To Catch A Predator" states that she was fired from the network after she complained that the show violated "numerous journalistic ethical standards." She charges the vigilante group Perverted Justice with "[trolling] for and [luring] targets into its sting," hiding [...]
