Recorded on August 31, 1928 in Memphis, Tennessee. Tommy Johnson was a contemporary of Charlie Patton and it is believed that he, along with other blues musicians from the Mississippi Delta area, exchanged ideas and tunes with Patton. "Canned Heat" referred to any one of a number of concoctions based on alcohol found in shoe polish, cooking fuel, etc., which it is believed Johnson had a liking for.
