"Drinkin' Wine, Spo-De-O-Dee" appears in the box set, Atlantic Rhythm and Blues, 1947-74; Mike Bloomfield's re-arrangement appears on the Electric Flag's A Long Time Comin'. Both the Robert Johnson numbers are on The Complete Recordings. Tommy Johnson's "Canned Heat Blues" is almost impossible to find; I know the song through the book Chasin' That Devil Music, which featured a special CD that included it, but it's out of print now. "Whiskey and Wimmin," there must be about a dozen versions of it by John Lee alone (he was kind of the Duke Ellington of the blues, in terms of incessantly re-recording/re-making many of his signature numbers).

A Robert Johnson CD is on my 'to buy' list. Ever since I watched VH1's top rockers of all time. He made the list, and one of my all time favorites - The Allman Brothers mentioned him as their biggest influence.

Since I think most of the new music out there sucks(I'm not a rap fan and hate the rap influence in new rock), I have to look in different directions.
