	Honeyboy Edwards Interview - One on One

	David "Honeyboy" Edwards, Little Brother Montgomery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		David "Honeyboy" Edwards has one of the greatest, gruffest voices ever to sing the blues, and the first of the 1969/1971 sessions on Don't Mistreat a Fool was recorded at the Thunderbird Motel in Chicago, along with Edwards' friends Johnny Shines, Big Walter Horton and Big Joe Williams sitting in on some tracks.
		Edwards knew and heard both legendary delta bluesmen Charlie Patton and Robert Johnson in his youth, and his playing and singing are true to the delta tradition, just seasoned with a taste of Chicago.
		Edwards fairly squeals for joy in the bouncy "You Gonna Catch Trouble," especially during the instrumental bridges.

		Edwards' itinerant lifestyle resulted in his missing many opportunities to record, so that this was only the fifth session he'd had in over 30 years in music, performing solo, with an acoustic guitar on eight of the 13 cuts here.
		Edwards cuts a daunting figure on the guitar, making the strings sing in several voices at once (check out the playing on "Love Me Over Slow"), and his singing is a match for his playing.
		As a bonus, the last track is an interview from his 1967 solo session in which Edwards talks about Robert Johnson and Tommy Johnson, both of whom he knew personally.

		What is here is Honeyboy Edwards, in the company of a couple friends, who add considerably to this CD's appeal.

		This is a companion disc to Honeyboy Edwards' autobiography of the same name.
		Carey Bell contributes some great harp to Edwards' lone guitar, and on other tracks Edwards is ably supported by Rick Sherry on harmonica and washboard.
		With his timing as idiosyncratic as ever, Edwards also brings a couple of fine originals to the table with "My Mama Told Me" and "Every Now and Then." A great lion-in-winter recording with more than its share of oddball quirks, this is one great listening experience.
