The Mississippi Sheiks began as a family band and grew into a very successful and well-known band throughout the Mississippi Delta. This piano-guitar duet is an unusual in a country-blues song. “I’ll Be Gone, Long Gone,” is a song which a man laments about all he does for a woman, but warns her she better not get used to him being around. Threatening to leave, the Mississippi Sheiks produce a classic tune with a celebratory instrumental break in themiddle, which lightens the mood.
