- catalog abstract "From sharecropper's son to itinerant bluesman, Honeyboy's life reads like a distillation of the classic blues legends. His good friends and musical partners were blues pioneers Charlie Patton, Big Walker Horton, Tommy McClennan, Sunnyland Slim, and Robert Johnson, among many others. He saw some of the first blues musicians in the Delta: Tommy Johnson, Son House, and older artists unrecorded and lost to us. Honeyboy went on the road to play guitar at age seventeen with Big Joe Williams. He hopped the freight trains of blues lore - the Pea Vine, the Southern, and the Yellow Dog - and played the riverboats, juke joints, and good-timing houses along the dusty roads of the Delta. In the thirties, Honeyboy was playing in Handy Park on Beale Street during that seminal era of Memphis's music scene. Eventually the blues led him to Texas, to Deep Ellum in Dallas and to Houston, where he and the blues took on a new sound. In the late forties he brought a teenaged Little Walter to Chicago and together they played on Maxwell Street. Eventually, Honeyboy made Chicago his home, as did the blues we know today. In addition to providing a precious link to the origins of the blues, Honeyboy gives us a unique perspective on American history. You will marvel at his firsthand accounts of plantation life, the 1927 Mississippi River flood, vagrancy laws, makeshift courts in the back of seed stores, the racial problems and economics of southern blacks, and the Depression.".

- catalog description "All the people flowed to the Mississippi Delta -- The water overflowed her heart -- I kept that guitar in my hands -- Honey can play now! -- I wasn't going back to them fields -- The world don't owe me nothing! -- I was just up and down the road -- I had three ways of making it -- Everything sounded good to me -- Robert was crazy about women and crazy about his whiskey -- We was all just country boys -- Daddy, you can be my lemon squeezer! -- I didn't give a damn about nothing -- I had to go back to Coahoma before I got found -- He didn't know how good he was -- We did so good together, I kept her -- The blues is something that keeps you moving -- It don't always matter how good you play -- Chicago used to be a music town -- I never doubted myself -- I just got lucky when I got Bessie -- I stayed with the blues -- Miscellany -- Musicians -- Songs.".
