David "Honeyboy" Edwards died today.
He was the last of the great old Mississippi bluesmen, and you haven't heard the Delta blues played like this, ever. Here he is, in his 90s, still giving it his all:
This is the kind of blues that sits in your belly like a hungry wolfcub, taking bites straight out of your heart. Blues like showers of rain.
Thank you, Mr. Edwards. May your memory and your music live forever.
