Bukka White was influenced by the guitar playing of men like Charlie Patton and Skip James and recorded a number of significant songs during his long career. " Black Train Blues " has one of those familiar themes of taking a train to travel far away from home while " Fixin' to Die Blues" offers a different perspective on the dying blues songs and concentrates on the bereaved left behind rather than the more traditional " my life's been hard now I'm dying" kind of theme. Both songs have been extensively covered by other artists. White himself experienced a revival in the sixties after some of his music was recorded by John Fahey.
