"Jim Lee Blues" is another in the "pre-blues" era of Patton tunes. It is played in the key of E. This piece is an example of the strum technique that would've been used in the 1800's most likely on banjo before the popularization of the guitar amongst the southern black population. The "Jim Lee Blues" form is found in a vast array of other tunes, most famously "Crow Jane."
