I heard this whole record played once on the CBC. It blew my fucking mind. It is the best, most fucked up, blues record ever made and is the only old record that, if added to my collection, would make me happy as Anne Murray on a golf course with Bobby Orr.
I tried to buy a copy of the record and an 8-track from Void Records, who last distributed it out of an empties cluttered basement in Winnipeg, but they had vanished by the time I made my request. All I have is "Gin Pig," Saskatchewan's very own "Anarchy in the U.K." burned onto a cd or two.

Great. Outstanding. I never heard of him before. Thanks for the motherfuckin' tip.
Hi Dope City - thanks for the mention... I've just recently updated the page to mention that SWJ is also available as a CD-R purchase for those who don't like downloads.
Thanks again,

Sounds good to a gin pig like me Lee.
Is it April already?
Yes, Screamin' White Jefferson is the work of an employee of Canada's nayional radio broadcaster with a large imagination, a more serious driking habit than my own and a a great admiration of Saskatchewan blues and their bountiful lobster fishery.
I would still rather listen to Screamin' White Jefferson than the radio show he hosts weekday mornings.
