Armenter "Bo Carter" Chatmon was born March 21, 1893 in Bolton, Mississippi & died in Memphis, Tennessee on September 21, 1964.

Superb covers of Skip James, Jessie Mae Hemphill, a couple of BoCarters and some traditional numbers (ones that nobody remembers who wrote).
For me the great highlight of this well-balanced set, also including titles by BoCarter, Joseph Spence and Trixie Smith, is the taunting Jessie Mae Hemphill song, Eagle Bird, with Catfishs guitar picking at its most subtle, with a slow and evocative tempo.
The two BoCarter tunes offer a more secular view of the world.
