Ashwood Blues Lounge — The Night They Run Us Off | Old School Delta Blues

OLD SCHOOL DELTA BLUES FOR YOUR LATE NIGHTS, WHISKEY & QUIET HOURS 🥃🎸 Pour a glass, dim the lights, and let the quiet settle in. Over an hour of raw, mournful Delta blues — gritty weathered vocals and crying slide guitar, telling the fictional story of a Black family whose land was paid for in full, then taken through threats and violence. Seventeen songs follow a father's hard-earned independence: eighty acres in his own name, a thriving cotton crop, and a deed kept carefully in a tin box. Then come the offers he refuses, the riders in the night, and the law that will not protect him. To keep his children safe, he signs it away. The family moves into a tenant house on the very land they once owned — close enough to see their old roof. Years later, his son drives past with children of his own. They ask what's there. He keeps driving. 🔔 Subscribe for new Old School Delta Blues every day:    / @ashwoodblueslounge   ▼ TRACKLIST 0:00 Daddy Bought It Outright 3:22 Eighty Acres in His Own Name 6:56 Best Cotton on That Road 9:59 They Come to Buy It Twice 13:29 Said Name Your Price 17:23 The Deed Didn't Mean a Thing 21:01 Riders Come Through at Two 24:29 Shot Out Every Window 27:51 Burned the Barn to Say It 31:49 Went to the Law and Come Home 35:46 Mama Said Sign It 40:00 Signed It Over for Nothin' 43:48 Moved to the Tenant House 47:07 Worked Shares on My Own Ground 51:09 He Sat Two Pews Ahead of Us 55:07 Daddy Never Said the Word 58:46 Drove Past It in Fifty-Eight 🎧 Best for: late night reflection, reading, unwinding, whiskey & quiet. 🎵 Follow on Spotify — full albums, and new releases first: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4axSL... — This album tells a fictional story.
