He’s in the Jailhouse Now, by Blind Blake
from the album 15 Classic Blues Songs From the 1920's∶ Vol․ 1
John EckmanDavid Bromberg, My Own House, 1978 on Fantasy
Bromberg’s 9th album as a solo artist, from 1978 – his first on Fantasy after three great Columbia records in the seventies. Bromberg is one of my favorite musicians I feel doesn’t get enough attention.
Fewer guest stars here than some of his other albums, but still excellent music from Bromberg, including a number of traditionals and blues covers (Blind Blake and Blind Boy Fuller). Produced by Bromberg himself, with George Kindler and Dick Fegy supporting on mandolin, fiddle, and banjo.
My copy, via Electric Fetus in Minneapolis MN, is a 1978 pressing in great shape.

Rob Monroe#Virginia born musician #BlindBlake was a phenomenally talented #guitar player. He recorded prolifically in the 1920s and early '30s with many of his records having great commercial success. But as often was the case with #blues musicians, he saw little of the profits his records made.
He died destitute at age 38 and was buried in an unmarked grave. Fortunately his recordings are available on YouTube and streaming services. This article is a wonderful tribute to him: https://milwaukeerecord.com/music/remembering-blind-blake-milwaukees-king-of-ragtime-guitar/?fbclid=IwAR0c-iALfPAM1Gw3lYvspMO4uiurmtW2NSfC5kAwj6wywlJFU8iesN0lk8g
