  • Mean Old Bedbug Blues

    Furry Lewis (1893-1981) was probably the best known of his generation of Memphis bluesman in his later years. Like many of the old medicine-show artists, he was a performer to the end, even taking a movie role in "W.W. And The Dixie Dance Kings" in 1975.

    Walter "Furry" Lewis, vocal, guitar.
