Delta Cryin' Man
Crossroad Dust Holler
Delta Blues
About
Raw hollering vocals wail over bottleneck slide licks on acoustic guitar in a strict 12-bar blues progression, backed by a sparse arrangement of fingerpicking and foot stomps evoking Delta sharecropper anguish. Ultra-raw mono production captures string buzz, room noise, and live intimacy like 1930s field recordings, with a haunting solo amplifying spiritual desperation. Fades into echoing cries of poverty and lost love.
Lyrics
sun burning my back feels calling my name calling my name plowing that dry dirt from dawn till the night hands blistered and bleeding no to this fight boss man riding high whip cracking the air dreams turned to dust but i got no prayer she left on the midnight no no no goodbye took my heart to the river left me high and dry whiskey in my bottle tears in my beer loves the crewmaster oh the devil's waiting down at the crossroads sign gonna trade my tomorrow for one more time lord have mercy on this broken man delta crying do the best i can fade away you fade away you
