Recorded in 1937, Your Mama Don’t Like Me (And She Might Be Right) is one of the few surviving relics of Delta bluesman Elijah “Hollowfoot” Turner , a singer and guitarist whose sound carried the weight of the Mississippi Delta on every note. This track has been faithfully remastered from the original 78rpm disc, preserving the grit, warmth, and raw, foot-stomping energy that defined Hollowfoot’s style.

Born around 1897 in Clarksdale, Mississippi, Turner came up playing in plantation fields before drifting toward Memphis and the neon glow of Beale Street. Known for his ferocious bottleneck slide guitar and the thunderous stomp that earned him the nickname “Hollowfoot,” he performed with a spirit that was both unpolished and unforgettable.

This recording captures the soul of the Delta tradition , rough, honest, rebellious, and deeply human. Much like Robert Johnson, Son House, Charley Patton, and Skip James, Turner sang about hard living, heartbreak, and the daily battles of Depression-era Mississippi. His music, sometimes mournful and sometimes mischievous, carved out a world of pain, hope, and resilience in just a few chords.

Very little is truly known about Elijah “Hollowfoot” Turner. Beyond scattered collector notes and ghost stories passed down through musicians, he exists mostly in whispers. But through this rediscovered performance, his voice returns: rhythmic, rhythmic, fiery, and beautifully imperfect , a crackling window into the Delta blues of the 1930s.

So was Elijah “Hollowfoot” Turner a real bluesman? A half-forgotten legend? A myth that grew with every retelling? Or maybe just a story born from static, tape hiss, and imagination , because sometimes even machines dream the blues.

Either way… the spirit of the Delta lives here.
