Rockin' Chair Blues [1941]
Boogie Woogie Woman 2011 via Bluebird
a note about this track

A Well-Respected Country Blues Artist Despite His Limited Output, Robert Petway Recorded Just Sixteen Songs During Two Sessions, All Before 1943. Little Biographical Information Is Available, Although It Is Known That He Lived And Played In Mississippi With Friend and Fellow Bluesman Tommy McClennon But Poor Storage Degraded The Acetates. Petway's Influence Is Heard In The Music Of John Lee Hooker And Muddy Waters And Jimi Hendrix. One Photo Of Petway Is Known To Exist
