Special Rider Blues

I got into a blues phase last year, around the time I bought the O Brother Where Art Thou Soundtrack in fact. The nice thing about collecting blues is that greatest hits and complete recordings can be had for pretty cheap, so I picked up the best of a number of well-known blues artists like Charlie Patton, Son House, Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, Leadbelly, Memphis Minnie, Muddy Waters, Gene Autrey...
