George Carter - Ghost Woman Blues

I haven't posted much music more than 5 decades old in doing this blog. There's two reasons, one, its much harder to find and two, I'm not into much before the 1950s. However I love early blues music. The only bad thing is that there isn't much of it out there. A lot of it just never got recorded. The stuff that did though is usually excellent.

This song by George Carter is perfect early blues. He's got a great voice and his rhythms are great. When he howls towards the end of the song, even through deminished recording you can still feel it. It's really haunting more so when you put yourself into the time, imagine hearing this in a Juke Joint before stumbling out into a gravely road in the middle of the country with only darkness as a blanket over the top of you. Back before all the roads were illuminated. I would have been singlehandedly humming and also trying to forget this song at the same time.
