Monday morning blues: If you don't love blues, you hate America

Henry Butler, "Death Has No Mercy," from Blues After Sunset.  Ask me to pick a favorite piano player, and some days, I'll pick this guy.  Great voice too.  He is a blind guy who also works as a photographer.  Seriously.  New Orleans-based, and capable of playing anything, he frequently worked with the late, great Snooks Eaglin.  This is an old standard, but nobody gives a better performance than Henry Butler.
