"These overdubs were done with such finesse that the final product is indistinguishable from Hemphill's full band tracks from the same era. Perhaps they have the advantage of foregrounding her guitar and vocals even more prominently." — Alex Greene, Memphis musician and author

While some carry the torch of the North Mississippi blues tradition, no one on the scene now really compares to the great Jessie Mae Hemphill of Senatobia, (and later of Memphis). This collection of field recordings was originally recorded on New Years Eve 1989 by Ko De Korte and Tom Haarsama. Additional overdubs produced by Bruce Watson at Delta Sonic Sound in Memphis, Tennessee in 2018.

Hemphill's exacting riffs heard here, spare and stinging, have an intriguing intricacy, yet never sacrifice the hypnotic quality of the form. They are instantly recognizable, but as heard on the never-before-released tracks of Run Get My Shotgun, they're both real and raw from one of North Mississippi Hill Country Blues' best, Jessie Mae Hemphill.
