Broke and Ain’t Got a Dime – Precious Bryant
Filed under: Personal Days - Blues and Coffee Breaks
It’s early Sunday morning. I just got paid, but I’m broke and ain’t got a dime. Just like the song says…
From the master compilers at Hear Music, Got a Feeling Called the Blues, is an outstanding collection of blues works from the various masters of the form. The bulk of the performances hail from between the 1930s and the 1960s, with an exception or two as necessary to catch a major performer. Precious Bryant covers this Blind Willie McTell tune.
Born Precious Bussey in Talbot County, GA, on January 4, 1942, Precious Bryant has performed rural acoustic blues throughout her native state for over 30 years in a variety of settings, from the Baptist church to folk festivals to clubs and concert halls. As a female practitioner of a rapidly fading folk style, Bryant has a unique musical voice, if only by virtue of survival.
