“Mississippi County Farm Blues” recorded in 1930 for Paramount was lost to the world until 2005 along with its B side, “Clarksdale Moan.” “Mississippi County Farm Blues” came to be at the request of Paramount looking for a recording to honor the recent passing of their biggest star, Blind Lemon Jefferson. Son House used the melody of Jefferson’s “See That My Grave Is Kept Clean” for this slide tour de force.
