Me in a previous life, kind old boss man @mal3volent let the wife and kids break off early from the levee camp, only worked 14 hours picking cotton for me, his such a kind boss man.

Real Blues, Robert Pete Williams an unknown Blues man in the wider scene sadly. His fingerpicking is amazing & his one of the best ever. He did time in the same jail as leadbelly for murder, he sings about life in such a tone of sorrow it hits you like a brick.

@mal3volent used to keep an eye on him when he was boss man on the chain gang too.
