Joe Bryant and The Mississippi Woodchoppers.
Mississippi Records # 512 - Starday Custom
Side A - Pulpwood Blues - (Bryant)
Side B - A Man Ain't Nothin' But A Woman's Slave - (Bryant)
My copy above is pretty rare as we now know only two copies exist (according to Malcolm Chapman in his blog and Starday Custom CD Box set review he only knows of one copy) below. So mine must be number two ......wow what a killer rare record.
Joe Bryant and the boys lay down some pretty hot country blues and it's pretty evident that Joe wrote these tunes after repeated plays of ol' Hank Williams and is pretty clear what sound he's after. You get all the usual elements, fiddle, rhythm guitar and steel guitar which does go a little off piste a few times on both side but as MC says above it just adds to the charm of the whole thing.
