("better late than never")

Hey; just discovered this eminent not-so-black artist from deep deep down.
Thanks to user bobhardy1 at Youtube.

This is what Wikipedia says:

Sam Chatmon (January 10, 1897 - February 2, 1983), was a Delta blues
guitarist and singer. He was a member of the Mississippi Sheiks and half-brother to Charlie Patton.

Clips from 1976:

Thats My Gal - Rag


Master Shake

There's some good colour Sam Chatman performances one of those Vestapol blues DVD's which Stefan Grossman produced. In fact there's a lot of great stuff on those releases - Hooker,Hopkins,Son House etc. plus one of my all time favourites Mance Lipscombe in concert.
