David Honeyboy Edwards November 6, 2007

David "Honeyboy" Edwards is one of the few remaining original practitioners of the acoustic Delta blues style. As a guitarist and country blues singer, Edwards has been playing "traditional and unadulterated Mississippi Delta blues" since he left his home in Shaw, MS, at the age of fourteen. Though Edwards took up electric blues in the 1960s and has since worked on occasion with a band, he still performs authentic solo acoustic country blues and is living testament of the music's vitality. Devil in a Woodpile plays blues-inspired country music.
