About Jed Davenport

Jed Davenport's jug band only had one recording session, but it laid a few tracks that jug bands still play today, including "You Ought to Move Out of Town." This group had close associations with blues superstar Memphis Minnie -- her husband and brother-in-law, Joe and Charlie McCoy, played in the group -- and she may have as well. Compare the shouted "Yeah, uh-huh" in every verse of "Save Me Some" to similar shouts on Minnie's own recordings!
