Mississippi Music - 1930's old country blues

This is an original 1930's country blues recording of "Sittin' On Top of the World" by The Mississippi Sheiks.

What shocked me about them was that in 1935 they gave up being musicians and became farmers. They sound like such natural musicians though, and so many other musicians were influenced by them. Luckily, there are some recordings of their music, so in the future people will know what early blues sounded like.
