Label : Fat Possum (7” EP) Released : 1969 Format : Mp3@320  George Mitchell recorded a handful of sides by Bunkley in Geneva, Georgia in 1968. From Mitchell's notes: "Jim Bunkley lived in a small tar-papered house he bragged was his own, in Geneva, Georgia, his birthplace. He was 'eight years old when they took the census in 1920. It was about that time he made friends with the guitar." 'When I was about eight, my brother had one, and me and my nine year-old sister used to play it. Us couldn't hold it. Had it hanging up 'side of the wall and we'd get up on a chair and play it. Everyone in my family could play – we had five boys and four girls.' "When he 'got up in age, Bunkley was about the best known musician around Talbot County. He recalled the many times he walked away with prizes offered at a theater in nearby Junction City. 'I was rough then,' he said. 'I had on a great big ole cowboy hat and I got up there on the stage and cracked a whole lot of jokes and then played. I win all that money, too.' Tracklist : 1.
