Though Mississippi Delta blues guitarist and singer Tommy McClennan was only active for a brief three years, he left a powerful legacy on the world of blues and beyond, influencing the likes of John Fahey and Elmore James, with tracks being covered by everyone from Bob Dylan to Albert King, and Moon Mullican. Cutting sides for Bluebird between 1939-1942, McClennan’s rough, slightly unhinged style made him one of the more unique voices in the Delta and he was the first to record the classic “Cross Cut Saw Blues” along with the well known “Shake ‘Em On Down”, “Bottle It Up And Go”, and dozens more. Doxy is pleased to present his complete recordings here in deluxe 3LP box set.
