This isn't henry sloan this is hayes mcmullan . I have listened to Wardlows tapes and I have talked to gayle on the phone recently . He says that back in the early 60s when he went to dockerys all the older people their said sloan didn't play guitar , they said he was a church goer. But David Evans thinks henry sloan was the man who played this . I personally think. It's patton because if you hear green river blues you hear that verse 3 times . Also I heard on his tapes Willie moore who knew patton and Willie Brown said that brown had a song that had the lyrics "I walked to east saint Louis and didn't get but one lousy dime" supposedly some knucklehead said that W.C Handy said that verse was in the song. Know I don't know if it's right but I think who Handy heard was Patton . Because Mr. Wardlow went to dockerys in the 60s and talked with all the old folks and they said that Sloan didn't play guitar . That's what Wardlow told me . None of pattons sisters said that patton was playing at a young age and Evans says he did . I don't know who's right but my money's towards Wardlow . If it is patton than we know he taught himself but , I also heard that he saw many older artist as a child playing blues songs like elder greene and greene river and maybe this tune

Many researchers believe that this may well have been Charlie Patton and not Henry Sloan. Sloan didn't teach Patton much. Sloan never recorded. Green River Blues has parts of this song. This of course isn't Henry Sloan...LOL.Patton was a Six Sigma event in music. Like Lennon / McCartney....he had his own talent and creativity....Sloan and Chatmans only taught him so much.

I have a book by Gayle Dean Wardlow Called Chasing that Devil Music. The book has a cd w/ some recordings of Hayes McMullan and I have to agree w/ Nyama74. My money is on Hayes. I recommend the book for anyone who likes blues and is interested in the history. Wardlow had(s) his finger on the pulse of the Mississippi blues.

Creighton Wodarski is correct. This isn't Sam Chatmon...it's Hayes McMullan (recorded by Gayle Dean Wardlow in 1967). I don't think it's available anywhere, yet.

"Sloan played blues, so it is *likely* that he was a major influence on Charlie." - Mike Leadbitter, 1971. "Sloan played blues and was *probably* a major influence on the young Patton." -- David Evans, 1982. (Emphasis added.) Do we know where Leadbitter, who died in 1974, got the idea that Sloan played blues?

Joseph Scott

"All [Patton] learned from Henry Sloan was basically some chords. They've made Henry Sloan into an older bluesman, but there's no evidence to back it up, based on the different people I've talked to at Dockery's -- even [Patton's] sister, Viola...." -- Gayle Wardlow, coauthor of *King Of The Delta Blues: The Life And Music Of Charlie Patton*.

No this is Hayes McMullen recored by gaylon wardlow The 1960s

Joseph Scott

Handy wrote in his autobiography that he learned the "blues" (he called it) "Got No More Home Than A Dog" -- which, very much like this, was 12-bar with AAA lyrics, none of them mentioning "blues," but unlike this, had decidedly mournful lyrics -- from Phil Jones while he was living in Evansville, which was in about 1895. Writings by Handy's good friend Abbe Niles also imply that Handy likely knew a 12-bar variant of "Joe Turner" with different lyrics when he lived in Henderson, which was in about 1896. *According to Handy*, these 12-bar songs similar to "Joe Turner" *were known over a large area of the South*. The Tutwiler song is famous, despite being from about 9 years after Evansville (it's more likely from 1904 than 1903), and not having lyrics about having the blues, because from the 1940s on, Alan Lomax and other influential writers arbitrarily decided without real evidence that they liked the idea that blues music originated in Mississippi, and the towns of Evansville and Henderson long ago made the mistake of not being in Mississippi.

what makes you think this is Henry Sloan? He was never recorded, we have to agree with Ross on that.

Where did this recording come from? Its most likely not Henry Sloan, but it is definitely good.

Let's not forget that we don't actually know who it was that Handy saw at Tutwlier station. The notion that it may have been Henry Sloan, although possible, is merely speculation. I'm sure the song was similar to this (albeit played with a slide) as it probably constituted a standard along the lines of "Poor Boy, Long ways From Home". Sloan himself never recorded (as far as is known) and I can't say for sure who this is singing although it does sound like Sam Chatmon.

Achmad Blues

I just remembered that Sam Chatmon who sing. Since I got it from another blog but forgot the address.

bluesblabber

I don't know if I'm hearing this right, but I think it's maybe Sam Chatmon who's singing. Nice one, in

Larry Collins

It appears it's Solihin's band. They have a lot of good material on here.Achmad & The Roll 1966 Achmad & The Roll 1966, Tangerang, Indonesia........

is this really henry sloan? important to know for researchthe recording sounds of too high quality to be such an early recording

Ross Scordato

Is this really Henry Sloan ?! He's not known to have recorded anything that has survived...amazing !! It says, "This is a version of that song"...but by who ??

Roger Wagner

This appears to be the song W.C. Handy talked about. There are supposed to be no known recordings of Henry Sloan however! Where did this recording come from?
