In an attempt to find long-lost guitarist Bukka (Booker) White, music historian Jeff Fahey sent a letter addressed only, “Bukka White (Old Blues Singer), Aberdeen, MS,” White’s hometown. The letter found him in 1963 working at a Memphis tank factory. Bukka White – Aberdeen Mississippi Blues, c. 1967

Great video. I want more.
The Post Office used to be able to do things like this. Especially the small ones. The Post Master who knew everybody and/or could find everybody with an address just like this one.
Isn’t it *John* Fahey?
I’ve been trying to find old vinyl with blues or old rag and it seems they don’t exist. I hope there are people trying to preserve this!
I love this song. I have it an a fabulous compilation album of blues greats but I’d never seen any footage.
So talented.
Van Halen guitar tapping earliest influence/source?
I want to cry because I have never heard of Bukka White. So much is lost to us.
Wow
I really love these old school blues videos.
This is great. Also, resonator guitars are so fucking cool.
Never heard of him before, he’s great
Led Zeppelin reeks of this guy
Does Jeff Fahey have relation to John Fahey?
This post should be deleted, “Jeff fahey”
“Music historian” lol
This is very freaking cool
