Bob Dylan was a big fan of Woody Guthrie. Woody played with black artists Lead Belly, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee, Alec Sewart. Dylan was also a big fan of Ramblin' Jack Elliott who was also a huge Woody Guthrie fan. Cisco Houston played on a a lot of Guthries stuff along with playing his own.
On Dylans first album he covers Blind Lemon Jeffersons..."Please See My Grave Is Kept Clean". On his Vanguard recordings (early on) Ramblin' Jack covers Blind Lemons classic "Black Snake Moan".
So a cool mix...
