Recorded in 1930 'last kind words' by Geeshie Wiley is primitive blues at it's absolute
best, music for music's sake for want of a better term. Robert Crumb sums up that strain of old
blues as ''hearing the best part of the soul of a common people, their way of expressing their
connection to eternity''. The song has a hypnotic, unaffected feel to it, it hangs in time,
the fact there are no known photos or images of Geeshie Wiley only adds to the mystique.
