About the artist

David "Honeyboy" Edwards was born June 28, 1915(June 28, 1915 – August 29, 2011) in Shaw, Mississippi. Honeyboy is one of the last living links to Robert Johnson, and one of the last original acoustic Delta blues players. He is a living legend, and his story is truly part of history. He is the real deal. Friend to legendary musician Robert Johnson, Edwards was present on the fateful night Johnson drank the poisoned whiskey that took his life.
