Dave "Honeyboy" Edwards Dead at 96

The last of the great Delta bluesmen.  New York Times obituary here.
Honeyboy plays for the Lomax Library of Congress field recorder in 1942, "Wind Howling Blues."

Another great track recorded in 1950 during Honeyboy's stay in Texas, "Build Myself a Cave"

And finally, from the film "Walk Hard," young Dewey Cox, who has just cut his brother in half (accidentally), goes to the general store to buy a candle for the vigil, and gets a lesson in the blues from Honeyboy.

Dave with his Grammy for lifetime achievement last year.
