Seller: six-penny ✉️ (2,478) 100%, Location: East Dorset, GB, Ships to: GB, Item: 155868587386 My Rough and Rowdy Ways, Vol. 2 (CD, 2006) New Sealed. My Rough and Rowdy Ways, Vol. 2 features 23 songs from the '30s about badmen and hellraisers, by artists ranging from legends like  Uncle Dave Macon ,  Mississippi John Hurt , and  Big Bill Broonzy   to obscure music pioneers like  George Reneau   and groups like the  Haywood County Ramblers . The mix of white, country, and black, blues artists is one of the better in this series, the music meshing together to form a kind of audio panorama of story-songs dealing with life on the far side of law and order -- "Otto Wood the Bandit" by the  Carolina Buddies , (aka  Odell Smith   [fiddle] and  Norman Woodlief   [guitar]), segues into  Mississippi John Hurt 's "Frankie," followed by  Uncle Dave Macon 's rip-roaring banjo workout "Railroadin' and Gamblin'" (anyone seeking a track that defines  Macon 's claw-hammer style of banjo playing need look no further than this cut). Among the too little heard bluesmen featured here are  Sloppy Henry   ("Canned Heat Blues") and  Peg Leg Howell   ("Skin Game Blues"), who also plays on  Henry 's cut, and  Robert Wilkins , whose "Old Jim Canan's" features a superb guitar duet between the singer and  Little Son Joe , later the husband of  Memphis Minnie . Country highlights include Georgia based fiddle wildman  Earl Johnson   ("Nobody's Business") and  George Reneau 's "Jesse James," which features singing by future star crooner  Gene Austin . Yazoo has done a generally good job of remastering these cuts, so the sound on most of it (David Miller's "That Bad Man Stackolee" and  Uncle Dave Macon 's "Late Last Night When Willie Come Home" are the big exceptions) holds together at a decent volume without any excessive artificial processing or distracting noise.
