Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie first wrote and recorded When The Levee Breaks in '29.  The lyrics reflect experiences during the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, the most destructive river flood in the history of the United States, with 27,000 square miles (70,000 km2) inundated in depths of up to 30 feet (9 m) over the course of several months in early 1927.

Nice slide show for this tune.

"Death Letter", also known as "Death Letter Blues", is the signature song of the Delta blues musician Son House. It is structured upon House's earlier recording "My Black Mama, Part 2" from 1930. House's 1965 performance was on a metal-bodied National resonator guitar using a copper slide.
 

One commentator noted that it is "one of the most anguished and emotionally stunning laments in the Delta blues œuvre.

Originally recorded April 12–14, '65.

"In the Pines", also known as "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?", "My Girl" and "Black Girl", is a traditional American folk song originating from two songs, "In the Pines" and "The Longest Train", both of whose authorship is unknown and date back to at least the 1870s.  The songs originated in the Southern Appalachian area of the United States in the contiguous areas of Eastern Tennessee and Kentucky, Western North Carolina and Northern Georgia.

Leadbelly's first rendition, recorded for Musicraft Records in New York City in February '44.  This is a later version.

What a great number, bobandyson.  :jap:  Do you happen know what album this is off of?  I can imagine other gems on the same disc.

I knew that Ry started out as a session musician but just had no idea he played for or with the Stones.

Then again, I never knew Ry had a glass eye until a couple of years ago.

So I was surprised when I saw the youtube clip last night.

A nice piano instrumental jam.

Thanks, bobandyson.  :jap:  I asked because I collect music, preferably lossless if it's available.  Downloading this album now.

If anyone is interested I'd like to share my resources for securing music.  For sharing I use Torlook which is not a share site.  It's an aggregator which, using the keywords you enter, trawls the most popular share sites and returns the results, which can then be further filtered by other keywords if the return is a voluminous result.

One important note . . . by default the results are listed by the most seeds.  As you scroll down and the seeds are reduced to zero yet the slider is not at the bottom of the page then keep scrolling down.  The Russian sites are at the end and you'll have another set of results.  My experience is that the Russian sites, especially rutracker, are the best.  Their downloads are usually the fastest.  And surprisingly, often times they offer music that western sites don't.  They are huge consumers of western music.

Also, if you're not getting satisfactory returns then play around with the keywords.  Changing them up can make all of the difference.

One last note.  If you right click on a result (make sure you right click on the title and not the site) then you have the option of going directly to the site.  This is useful for viewing the contents of the download (if listed) to ensure it's what you want.  Of course as long as you're there you can download directly from the magnet link on the hosting site, too.

Now if you can't find what you're looking for on a share site and you're only option is YouTube or other video sites then I use Loader.to.  It's a free online downloader for downloading videos or audio.  Video quality can be up to 8k (if available) and audio can be from mp3 to lossless such as FLAC or WAV.
