by Jim ONealA gravel-throated back-country blues growler from the Mississippi Delta, McClennan was part of the last wave of down-home blues guitarists to record for the major labels in Chicago. His rawboned 1939-1942 Bluebird recordings were no-frills excursions into the blues bottoms. He left a powerful legacy that included Bottle It up and Go, Cross Cut Saw Blues, Deep Blue Sea Blues (aka Catfish Blues), and others whose lasting power has been evidenced through the repertoires and re-recordings of other artists. Admirers of McClennans blues would do well to check out the 1941-1942 Bluebird sessions of Robert Petway, a McClennan associate who performed in a similar but somewhat more lyrical vein. McClennan never recorded again and reportedly died destitute in Chicago; blues researchers have yet to even trace the date or circumstances of his death.
