Mississippi Sheiks - Stop and Listen @ VBR HQ



"I knowed the Mississippi Sheiks. Yessir. Walked ten

miles to see them play. They was high-time...makin'

them good records, man." - Muddy Waters







The Mississippi Sheiks were the most popular blues artists of the 30s. Their repertoire drew upon all facets of black and white rural music: hard-edged blues, pop music, hokum, white country and traditional songs. Their rendition of "Sitting on Top of the World" has become an enduring standard.
