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

So many choices this morning!  I thought about going with Blind Lemon Jefferson's "Prison Cell Blues," or maybe T-Bone Walker's "Prison Blues."  Blind Blake had a few good ones I could have chosen.  But you know what?  Too obvious.  I still have to do a twofer today, though, 'cuz... damn!  I just can't pass this up!

OK, so first, we've got someone you probably don't know, but should.  Tony Joe White, "They Caught The Devil And Put Him In Jail In Eudora Arkansas," from his self-titled debut.  Then, thank you, youtube, the complete album from BB King-- Live in Cook County Jail!  (His best album-- even better than Live at the Regal).
