Perhaps the most aptly ignored among the early Delta bluesmen was one "Ravin" Bill Burrap, "The Mad King Of The Blues". Prone to over 37 types of head injury, Burrap penned more than 600 songs through the late 1930's, the majority of them such as "Why My Ass Get Red?" about his buttocks. Others with titles like "Invisible Hollerin Woman" and "I can Smell My Earwax" are not to be listened to without some form of heavy aural filter. One such is "Birdyman" which is still able to scare most livestock to death. Another is the gawdawful "Call Down All the Outer Space People And Sic 'Em On Ole Widda Bly" which was inadvertently recorded onto a piece of wax fruit and is over seven hours of things like this. Luckily Burrap died in 1938 when, believing himself to be a mountain goat battling a rival, he attempted to headbutt an oncoming locomotive. The influence of this artist is nonexistent and should remain that way.
