I found Abner in my teens in Portland searching for the reasons people sing the blues. I’ve listened to this man’s voice for almost three decades and it still hits to the core everytime.
Thank you sir for this invaluable upload. God bless. Do you happen to have his rendition of Cocaine Blues uploaded? I really enjoyed his wry humor at the conclusion of another video where he's talking to a listener standing there who's about to purchase a compilation of several albums. I came here by way of Fitzgerald in a conversation with an old-timer like me at church. I have people in Butler, Taylor County, GA.
There are few people who have their finger on the pulse of all that is cool in the way that you do - thank you for continuing to upload gems like this!
"Ow baby ow baby don't cut" me has got a literal meaning for me and those lines made me bust out laughing in the best way! That song became an instant fav as soon as I heard that.
