Stingy Woman Blues (studio, 1927-02-24: Victor matrix 37942-2, master take)

~ Recording by Memphis Jug Band

Annotation

Can be distinguished from alternate take 1 as on this take, the guitar comes in slightly early, during the first harmonica phrase. In addition, the lyrics are quite different; on this take the second verse begins "And I went to the jailhouse, looked around and around."
