RECORDINGS:
Sonny Boy Watson, "Have You Seen My Baby" (on USMississippi01)
NOTES [51 words]: Though this is treated as a single track on USMississippi01 and, though the playing is continuous, Sonny Boy Watson's tune changes and makes this seem like two songs: the first about his baby leaving and the second about working the farm and thinking, "There must be something better further up the road." - BS
