One of the definitive C blues statements on any recording anywhere. This compliments the other, more up tempo C blues like "Shuffle Rag" or "St. Louis Blues," in that it uses many of the same licks, but as this blues is sweetly slowed down, he can extend these licks, making them more complex, inward, expressive. He appears to be improvising some, showing him to be a master reminiscent of the early recordings of Lonnie Johnson.
