Big Joe Williams - She Left Me A Mule To Ride 1

Pretty sure, I've heard this played by folks like Garcia, Kaukonan, and Bromberg....and this was a sound to build on.

He split the royalties with Yank Rachell, the great blues mandolinist. I assume that’s where it came from. Yank was friends with both Big Joe and (the real) Sonny Boy.

I was lucky enough to get to see Yank play a few times back in the 80’s.
