You Got to Take Sick and Die - Boyd Rivers

Not a lot is known about the Mississippi-based country-blues and gospel singer Boyd Rivers who died in '93, but his growling voice seems to belong to a much older time.



He was born near the town of Pickens in December '43 and after being injured at his casket-making job in '72 he lived off his music and the pay-out. He was also a Reverend.



And that's about it.



Oh, and he seems to have recorded about a third the number of songs that Robert Johnson did. Just seven or eight.



And that's about it.



But here he is.



Be prepared to be impressed.
