Possibly one of the most legendary early blues songs. Robert Petway recorded the song 'Catfish Blues' in 1941. Among many other musicians who played variations of the song, Muddy Waters used the arrangement and lyrics of "Catfish Blues" for his song ‘Rollin' Stone'. David ‘Honeyboy’ Edwards asked if Robert wrote the song, he replied, ‘I just made that song up and used to play it at them old country dances. In his autobiography, David Edwards also remembered the Delta blues guitarist Tom Toy, from Leland, Mississippi, who apparently was well known locally for his version of ‘Catfish Blues’ but never recorded it.
