Brooks Williams in the close out bin?

Not a shopper traditionally for Black Friday or any day... I'm the hunter type... go on kill it and leave with my prey.  There is one shop I've shopped for ages; way before Amazon and iTunes could fill my needs for music.  Fritz Shuler would have CDs at the Golden Ring Folklore center, Manitowoc WI that would blow your mind.  I'd spend an hour and leave with 5 cds, especially when I moved away from town and it took 4 hours to get there.  Well CDs are dinosaurs for small shops especially and he's in his last phase of liquidating.  I've missed it until now but boy did I get some gems.  Pat Alger, Lui Collins, Dar Williams, Rory Block, Eric and Suzy Thompsen, Jym Mooney, Charlie Sexton, Ed Trickett, The Bobs, and BROOKS Williams, almost all circa late 90's early 2000's.  Many of these artists I had some of their music before but now 10 cds for $30 was too good to pass up.  I had listened to Brook for a while, and if you never have, please do:



I love the story opening for this Statesboro Blues cover has a tie in to my favorite rock band The Allman Bros. (his home town...)

Danny Blue - Dickey Betts


Well here's one darn obscure song that's begging me to learn it and cover it.  Danny Blue... YouTube does most of the work and tells me what I'll likely like base on my watching or liking other videos.. well they were right on this one.  Recently with passing away of Dan Toler I had watch a few, so I clicked on this one to find a song never recorded anywhere but this hotel.  I clicked on a bunch of other songs in iTunes to see if it was someone else's but to no avail.

Here's a link to the lyric's and more evidence and more that these are the only two videos you can hear the song.

Daily song : Stormy Monday

I grew up on the Allman's singing this great blues song.... where's a video taped in 2009...

But then I ran into this Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughn....

And here's T-Bone Walker who wrote the song...
