David "Honeyboy" Edwards was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2010 Grammys.Author Alex Haley stated that to be raised right in Mississippi meant to sit at the feet of your elders after Sunday dinner and hear stories about the ancestral past. There are precious few "elder" musicians still alive who were present at the birth of the blues in the Mississippi Delta in the 1930's. Sit and meet 84 year old David "Honeyboy" Edwards. If youÂ’re thinking the music recorded by this octogenarian might sound like the rehashed stories of the elderly, guess again.
ThereÂ’s nothing stale or feeble about the blues Honeyboy plays. Whether he played jukes in the 1930's, Maxwell Street in the 1940's, Houston and Memphis in the 1950's, or travels the globe today, Honeyboy continues to play the same original, first generation country blues heÂ’s always played.
