Broonzy tackles this W. C. Handy classic with his usual swinging C blues style. He has a great ear for melody and effortlessly weaves it into his "Shuffle Rag" arrangement, even breaking into "Shuffle Rag" for a few verses, showing the similarities between some of the licks. As usual, he employs his solid, swinging, single-string, steady thumping base, and shows us adaptable this style is, as it can be easily used with any kind of song.
