DAVID HONEYBOY EDWARDS

'David "Honeyboy" Edwards' (born June 28, 1915 in Shaw, Mississippi, United States) is a Delta blues guitarist and singer.
Friend to legendary musician Robert Johnson, Edwards was present on the fateful night Johnson drank the poisoned whiskey that took his life. Folklorist Alan Lomax recorded Edwards in 1942. Edwards is still touring the country performing and is the author of one book, ''The World Don't Owe Me Nothin','' published in 1997 by Chicago Review Press. The book recounts his life from childhood, his journeys through the South and his arrival in Chicago in the early 1950s. A companion CD by the same title was released by Earwig Records shortly afterwards. He has also records at a church-turned-studio in Salina, Kansas and releases albums on the APO label.
