Diggin my potatoes




Big Bill Broonzy




Memphis Slim






Lonnie Donegan singing Whoa Buck.
Lonnie Donegan was a skiffle performer in the UK in the 50s. He copied a lot of songs from American blues artists, particularly Lead Belly, and, so I've heard, claimed them as his own.

This song was recorded by Lead Belly but also features on a very early recording of prison chain gangs in Mississippi.
