David “Honeyboy” Edwards, the
last living original Mississippi
Delta bluesman who plays
guitar, shows that the blues
ain’t about the gear you play.
Edwards is coaxing old-school blues out of a
Silvertone Sovereign Pro
PSSN2 Paul Stanley Model
on the Blues at the
Crossroads tour. Edwards,
96, played Delta juke
joints with an acoustic in the
’20s and ’30s alongside Robert
Johnson, Big Walter Horton,
and Tommy McClennan. He
started playing the electric after
moving to Chicago in the ’50s.
