Straight Natch’l BluesFrom Tupelo to Tom Waits

Starting with Blind Willie McTell expounding on the history of the blues, we venture out on our weekly tour of the deepest and dirtiest blues recordings of the past century. From two versions of a common narrative about the 1927 flooding of the Mississippi to a whole set of bluesy Tom Waits covers, we'll get as low as ever on Straight Natch'l Blues.
