Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup was a wonderful delta blues singer and guitarist. He is best known outside blues circles for writing songs later covered many times, such as "That's All Right" , "My Baby Left Me" and "So Glad You're Mine."

This one is from the beginning of his recording career, from the year 1942.

I hope owners of the rights want to see this as an honor to this fine artist.

And same goes to these random photos, which I have found from net.

My hope is that everyone can just listen to this great musician. Enjoy!

It's so nice, that you can still buy these recordings for example on CD, mine is an old vinyl album!

I dig the Little Walter version of this song as well but it's hard to beat the original.What a truly great song writer and performer.

Lets face it, Big Boy wasn't in the same league as Big Bill Broonzy or Lightnin' Hopkins as a guitarist. Those guys were the blues Paco De Lucia

@ocarina23 ...says you Crudup sound is markedly different on every album and it's about as refined as blues music needs to be ...go listen to paco de lusia or somethin
