Re-issue of 1989 vinyl only album with new packaging and 4 bonus tracks. At 91 years old Honeyboy Edwards is the last remaining link to the first generation of Delta Blues musicians, and is still playing strong and in the traditional Delta Blues style. His autobiography "The World Don't Owe Me Nothing" is an important account of the life of an itinerant blues musician and this album is perhaps the best recording of his powerful style. Performing solo, on both acoustic and electric guitar, as well as some harmonica, Honeyboy plays some of his earlier recordings and covers some Delta Blues classics.
