Album: Movin' and Groovin' Man (feat. Melvin Taylor, Ken Saydak, Harlan Terson, Merle Perkins, Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson) | | Lyrics:
the blues
the blues the only friend I know
I say the blues
the blues the only friend I know
since my baby left me last night
and I know she won't be back no more
you know misery loves company
I would rather sit here and cry alone
I say misery loves a lot of company
Lord I would rather sit here and cry alone
you see when all the sunshine days are gone
woman I still want you in my arms
she told me that she loved me
and I believe
I said the woman Lord she told me
she told me that she loved me
and I believe
she wouldn't do no wrong
yes I say the blues are my best friend
because they're here with me
but the girl is gone

Blues saxophonist extraordinaire Eddie Shaw was born on a Stringtown plantation on March 20, 1937. He learned music at school in Greenville and performed in various local bands before moving to Chicago to join the Muddy Waters band. Shaw served as bandleader for Howlin’ Wolf for several years and launched his own busy touring career after Wolf’s death in 1976. His hard-hitting horn work won him Instrumentalist of the Year honors in the 2006 and 2007 Blues Music Awards.

Eddie Shaw earned international acclaim as one of the few saxophonists to ever build an enduring career leading a blues band. The most well-known saxophonists have often been jazz musicians, and wild, honking sax players once ruled on the early post-World War II rhythm & blues scene, but in most blues and R&B bands, sax players have been sidemen. Neither is the saxophone commonly associated with the music of the Mississippi Delta; in fact, in blues jargon, the term “Mississippi saxophone” jokingly refers to harmonica (which Shaw learned to play as well). But many of the most prominent bluesmen to emerge from the Delta have employed either a saxophonist or an entire horn section in their bands, including B. B. King, Elmore James, Howlin’ Wolf, Little Milton, Ike Turner, and, on many occasions, Muddy Waters.
