David "Honeyboy" Edwards, born June 28, 1915, in Shaw, Mississippi, was a towering figure in the world of blues music, an original link to the deep roots of the Mississippi Delta blues. His career spanned nearly a century, allowing him to bear witness to and influence the evolution of the blues genre from its earliest days. Edwards was a contemporary and friend to legends like Robert Johnson and Howlin' Wolf, and his music echoed the raw, unfiltered experiences of African American life in the South during the early and mid-20th century.

Over the years, Honeyboy Edwards amassed a discography that served not only as a testament to his talent but also as a living history of the blues. Titles such as "I'm Gonna Tell You Somethin That I Know (Live at the G Spot)" and "Mississippi Delta Bluesman" perfectly encapsulate his lifelong dedication to storytelling through music. Edwards was known for his intricate guitar work and soulful, gritty vocals, which he maintained well into his later years. Not only did he leave behind a remarkable collection of recordings like "Roamin' and Ramblin'" and "The World Don't Owe Me Nothing," but he also imparted his firsthand knowledge of the blues' early days to new generations. Until his passing in 2011, Edwards remained a beloved and revered figure in blues music, carrying with him the spirit and stories of a bygone era into the 21st century.
