The Mississippi Moaner

The Mississippi Moaner

The Mississippi Moaner has been played on NTS shows including Death Is Not The End, with It's Cold In China Blues first played on 19 November 2016.

The Mississippi Moaner was the name used by American bluesman Isaiah Nettles when he recorded five sides for Vocalion Records in Jackson, MS, on October 20, 1935. Only one 78 from the session was ever officially released, "Mississippi Moan" b/w "It's Cold in China Blues" (a crisp version of Blind Lemon Jefferson's "Long Lonesome Blues"). A credible singer and a fine guitar player, Nettles lived in Carlisle, MS (in Claiborne County), as late as 1936, but his trail vanishes after that date.
