This week Matt brings us the story of the polio-sticken blues singer who would create some of the biggest hits of all time and shape popular music while undergoing immense highs and lows in his personal life and crossing paths with a litany of the most famous and bizarre characters of his era.

(Correction, the version of "Piney Brown Blues" that Doc heard was probably the 1940 version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSYRA5f3kQQ)
