 Mike Bloomfield : “‘Being with Joe was being with a history of the Blues – you could see him as a man, and you could see him as a legend. Joe was part of a rare and vanished breed – he was a wanderer and a hobo and a Blues singer, and he was an awesome man. …He couldn’t read or write a word of English, but he had America memorized. He was wise to every highway and byway and roadbed in the country, and wise to every city and county and township that they led to. Because to know this man was to know the story of black America, and maybe to know the story of black America is to know America itself.’”
