	Furry Lewis
		Furry, as he was called by his childhood friends, developed an interest in music before he reached the age of 10.
		Furry had continued playing alongside the street musicians over the years, but with the newfound craze of Folk and Blues music, the time was right for his "Rediscovery." Two albums worth of material were recorded for the Folkways and Prestige labels, both released in 1961.
		Lewis hated the song and felt that since he was the subject of it, he deserved royalties from Mitchell.

	Furry Lewis - Biography - AOL Music
		Furry Lewis was the only blues singer of the 1920s to achieve major media attention in the 1960s and '70s.
		Lewis built his first guitar when he was still a child from scraps he found around the family's home.
		The songs proved that Lewis was a natural in the recording studio, playing to the microphone as easily as he did to audiences in person, but they were not, strictly speaking, representative of Lewis's usual sound, because they featured two backup musicians.

	The Dispatch - Serving the Lexington, NC - News
		Furry Lewis (Walter E. Lewis) (March 6 1899- September 14 1981) was a blues guitarist from Memphis, Tennessee.
		He was one of the first of the old-time blues musicians of the 1920s to be brought out of retirement and given a new lease of recording life by the folk blues revival of the 1960s.
		Furry's style of blues was in many ways typical of the 'songsters' who operated in and around Memphis in the 1920s, for whom the value of a song was the story it told, and who tended to back their words with hypnotic repetitive riffs and subtle slide guitars.

	9911 Furry Lewis & Lee Baker
		In the late 1920’s, Furry Lewis was “discovered” on Beale Street and recorded on 78 rpm by the major labels serving the newly emerging market for Black American music.
		Unfortunately for Furry and a number of other country blues artists, changing times and tastes made this a short-lived popularity, one not to be appreciated again for several decades.
		When the spotlight returned to Furry, beginning in the 1960s, he became an immediate hit with young people the world over, not only for his mastery of slide guitar but also for the wit and wisdom he shared with audiences and that joyful personality of his that delighted and enlightened.

		Furry was famous for his ability to sing and play acoustic guitar with a bottleneck slide.

		Furry always had contempt for delicate fingerpickers who were "afraid of their guitars" and to prove his point Furry would "beat the demons" out of his guitar and used his bottleneck stylings as the alter-ego to his dark and often menancing voice.
		Furry claimed he was mentored by early jazz legend W.C. Handy and many of his renditions of the popular standards of the early 20th century bear out this influence.
		Furry's lyrical imagery of steam engines, card sharks, jail houses, corrupt judges, bail bondsmen, wanton women and the life of a "rambling man" give us rare window into the lives ordinary people in the early part of the last century.

	Furry Lewis with Bukka White & Gus Cannon CD Review
		Although his recorded legacy lacks quantity, Walter "Furry" Lewis has had a major impact on the Memphis blues scene and the rest of the blues world still felt today.
		An original in the way he improvised his own lyrics in traditional songs, as well as showing an incredible sense of humor about human relationships, Lewis, who was also a presence playing slide guitar, should be best remembered for linking the 19th century traditional and ragtime pieces to the world of blues.
		One of the early country blues artists to garner attention for his fiery interpretations of traditional and ragtime pieces, Lewis-who often played an old sunburst Gibson J45-got his first opportunity to record in 1927, and most of his reputation is built on this early period's recordings for Vocalion and Victor.

		Born in Greenwood, Mississippi in 1893, Furry Lewis first moved to Memphis in 1899.
		Handy gave Furry his first real guitar, and Furry began to entertain the folks in Beale Street's saloons, and on riverboats from New Orleans to Memphis to St. Louis.
		Furry just kept on going as a street sweeper, however, and for almost thirty years seemed to have vanished from the music scene.

		One of the greatest blues storytellers and slide guitarists of them all, Furry Lewis recorded several sides in the 1920s, and would probably have been relegated to history if not for George Mitchell, the musicologist who set about recording Memphis bluesmen in the early '60s.
		Mitchell's recordings brought Lewis the well-deserved attention of a new generation of fans obsessed with Delta blues.
		And though Lewis was not a rich man when he died in 1981, he enjoyed the status of local legend, played on national TV, and even opened for the Rolling Stones.

	Furry Lewis Lyrics
		Then, the next two verses show Furry singing the praises of his newfound love - can't back this up, but I remember the Eagle Rock as the name of a dance and something tells me Sally Long is too - neither would it surprise me that both of these were euphemisms for sex.
		Perhaps even more remarkable than Furry's instrumental feat on this number are its lyrics, which are nutty even by Furry's exacting standards of nuttiness.
		Furry's accompaniment is extremely active behind his singing; in fact, what he is playing would be very sporting to play as an instrumental.

		Furry suffered mild cultural dislocation trying to deal with the concept of Norwegian currency, known as "Kroner." He sent Dave to buy him a bottle of whiskey.
		Dave roamed the streets until he found a State-run liquor store and purchased a fifth of Four Roses for the exorbitant sum of $25.00US.
		When he told Furry what the bottle cost, Furry said: "No wonder they call them "groaners."
