Minglewood Blues by Cannon's Jug StompersDon't you never let one woman rule your mind Don't you think your fairer was li'l and cute like mine Don't you never let one woman rule your mind Well I got a letter mama and you ought to hear it read There is an interesting breakdown of the history of this song in the folk tradtion at the Roots of the Greatful Dead page. Recorded on January 30, 1928 in Memphis, Tennessee. This recording features Gus Cannon on banjo and jug (Cannon created a contraption to hang the jug from his band so he could blow and pick banjo at the same time), Ashley Thompson on vocals and guitar and Noah Lewis on the harp. Minglewood was a lumber camp in Ashley, Tennessee, which was popular amongst musicians in the Mississippi Delta as a "hot spot." This tune became a popular staple of the Grateful Dead. Along with the Memphis Jug Band, Cannon's Jug Stompers was one of the great jug bands of the twenties.
