Gus Cannon (September 12, 1883 -- October 15, 1979) was an American blues musician who helped to popularize jug bands (such as his own Cannon's Jug Stompers) in the 1920s and 1930s. There is doubt about his birth year; his tombstone gives the date as 1874.
Born on a plantation at Red Banks, Cannon moved to Clarksdale, Mississippi, then the home of W. C. Handy, at the age of 12. Cannon's musical skills came without training; he taught himself to play using a banjo that he made from a frying pan and raccoon skin. He ran away from home at the age of fifteen and began his career entertaining at sawmills and levee and railroad camps in the Mississippi Delta around the turn of the century.
While in Clarksdale, Cannon was influenced by local musicians Jim Turner and Alex Lee. Turner's fiddle playing in W. C. Handy's band so impressed Cannon that he decided to learn the fiddle himself. Lee, a guitarist, taught Cannon his first folk blues, "Po' Boy, Long Ways from Home", and showed him how to use a knife blade as a slide, a technique that Cannon adapted to his banjo playing.
Cannon left Clarksdale around 1907. He soon settled near Memphis and played in a jug band led by Jim Guffin.He began playing in Memphis with Jim Jackson. He met harmonica player Noah Lewis, who introduced him to a young guitar player named Ashley Thompson. Both Lewis and Thompson would eventually become members of Cannon's Jug Stompers. The three of them formed a band to play parties and dances. In 1914 Cannon began touring in medicine shows. He supported his family through a variety of jobs, including sharecropping, ditch digging, and yard work, but supplemented his income with music.
Cannon began recording, as "Banjo Joe", for Paramount Records in 1927. At that session he was backed up by Blind Blake.After the success of the Memphis Jug Band's first records, he quickly assembled a jug band featuring Noah Lewis and Ashley Thompson (later replaced by Elijah Avery). Cannon's Jug Stompers first recorded at the Memphis Auditorium for the Victor label in January 1928. Hosea Woods joined the Jug Stompers in the late 1920s, playing guitar, banjo and kazoo, and also providing some vocals. Modern listeners can hear Cannon's Jug Stompers recording of "Big Railroad Blues" on the compilation album The Music Never Stopped: Roots of the Grateful Dead.
Although their last recordings were made in 1930, Cannon's Jug Stompers were one of Beale Street's most popular jug bands through the 1930s. A few songs Cannon recorded with Cannon's Jug Stompers are "Minglewood Blues", "Pig Ankle Strut", "Wolf River Blues", "Viola Lee Blues", "White House Station" and "Walk Right In" (later made into a pop hit by The Rooftop Singers in the 1960s, and later a hit rock/pop version by Dr. Hook in the 1970s). By the end of the 1930s, Cannon had effectively retired, although he occasionally performed as a solo musician.
He returned in 1956 to make a few recordings for Folkways Records. In the "blues revival" of the 1960s, he made some college and coffee house appearances with Furry Lewis and Bukka White. He also recorded an album for Stax Records in 1963, following the chart success of "Walk Right In", with fellow Memphis musician Will Shade, the former leader of the Memphis Jug Band.
Cannon can be seen in the King Vidor produced film, Hallelujah! (1929), during the late night wedding scene.

Lyrics
Don't you never let one woman rule your mind
Don't you never let one woman rule your mind
Said she keep you worried, troubled all the time
Don't you think your fairer was li'l and cute like mine
Don't you wish your fairer was li'l and cute like mine
She's a mar- She's a married woman
But she comes to see me all the time
Don't you never let one woman rule your mind
Don't you never let one woman rule your mind
Said she keep you worried, troubled all the time
Well I got a letter mama and you ought to hear it read
Well I got a letter Lord and you ought to hear it read
If you comin' back baby now be on your way
🪕 🎶 luv it ... poor grasshopper 🦗 such a happy little Chappy too :)
This is on the infamous "Anthology of American Folk Music" that inspired Dylan and many others. Now published by Smithsonian in a 9 CD set. Worth every penny.
infamous?
Get the book "Invisible Republic" by music critic Griel Marcus about Bob Dylan and the "Basement Tapes". It will dial you in to the significance of Smith's "Anthology of American Folk Music" relieased in 1950. And its "infamous" nature.
I'll look that one up. I do know that Harry Smith was a polymath genius at all sorts of things, but a manipulative guy who sponged off of everyone he could. Still, his rescuing of America's "old,weird" popular culture has us all in his debt. I have been listening to AAFM (sporadically) for 50 years.
My copy has 6 CDs.
it's difficult listening....
Minglewood is mentioned in many blues songs, but nobody is sure where it was. The closet they could find was the remains of a southern town built around a sawmill called "Mengle's Wood." So that could be it, o not.
thanks Charley!
Excellent music
Moanin' the blues...down home..ohhh yeah
Adorable! Too bad folks other than his family benefited from this. I know because I'm his great-great niece. No royalties!
Cutting edge A/V, way back in the day...
This is SOUL music
The words:
Well don't you never let no woman rule your mind
Don't you never let no woman rule your mind
Well she'll leave you troubled, worried all the time
Well I got a letter mama and you ought to heard what it read
Lord I got a letter mama and you ought to heard what it read
If you're comin' back baby now's your only chance
Don't you never let no woman rule your mind
Well don't you never let no woman rule your mind
Well she'll leave you troubled, worried all the time
So don't you wish that your fair girl was li'l and cute like mine
Boy don't you wish that your fair girl was li'l and cute like mine
Well she's a married woman, Lord she comes to see me some time
Don't you never let no woman rule your mind
Don't you never let no woman rule your mind
Well she'll leave you troubled, and worried all the time
Well don't you never let no woman rule your mind
Don't you never let no woman rule your mind
Well she'll leave you troubled, worried all the time
She'll leave you troubled, worried all the time
.. thanks ..
*"...never let ***one*** woman......"
The sequence of lyrics do not match this song they are from another version
"your fair girl" your faro
Minglewood was a town that featured in a lot of old Blues songs. Memphis Minnie sag "If you don't think cocaine is good, ask Alma Rose at Minglewood."
Somebody searched the south to try and find this town. And all they found was shut down old sawmill called "Mengle's Wood."
The full story may never be known.
This is brilliant fantastic .
I've been learning Doc Watson's version of this song. His son Merle does outstanding slide guitar on it.
Buckets of soul.
I love this upload!
Don't you never let one woman rule your mind...
Don't you never let one woman rule your mind
Don't you never let one woman rule your mind
Said she keep you worried, troubled all the time
Don't you think your fairer was li'l and cute like mine
Don't you wish your fairer was li'l and cute like mine
She's a mar- She's a married woman,
But she comes to see me all the time
Don't you never let one woman rule your mind
Don't you never let one woman rule your mind
Said she keep you worried, troubled all the time
Well I got a letter mama and you ought to hear it read
Well I got a letter Lord and you ought to hear it read
If you comin' back baby now be on your way
LOVED IT
The Dead brought me here
GREAT
THIS is "American exceptionalism".
What?
@@user-rj6de5xj6u What part of that don't you understand?
Gotta love this!
Very charming.
He was a medicine show band in the beginning and he called himself Banjo Joe
Mississippi John Hurt's "Richland Woman Blues' would go with this cartoon too--a woman waiting for her date to arrive in his car. "If you come to late this woman will be gone'"....
A great. great collage of music and animation! Thanks!
Good stuff!
Up!
Gut from Gus
Cool
Greatful dead anyone?
Bobby sings it better than this frog
No, thanks.
Nah. this is better.
far out video. reminds of the flip/howlin wolf smash up.
Flip the Frog for more.
It was "whiteWASH Station" not "Whitehouse Station" the the band recorded way back when... about whether you'd be better off in Heaven after visiting a 'whitewash station' or maybe going to Hell in a similar disguise. The psychological import of this song is worthy of a dissertation. ^..^
I like the grasshopper but what a terrible end especially after having to put up with Flip's meanness.
The language barrier to cooperation, trust, and commerce is quite real, unfortunately, but there’s not a single ethnic or other group or nationality anywhere on this once-pristine planet earth whose members wouldn’t instantly relate to and enjoy this video, which means this is something on the nature of an imminent extinction event (get it? (We certainly hope so, for your sakes)) of historic proportions, which We thought might just be of some concern to you, and consequently be deserving of your undivided attention and eventual remediation. Or else
