Lou Reed R.I.P.
“See That My Grave Is Kept Clean” is a blues song recorded by Blind Lemon Jefferson in 1927 that became “one of his most famous compositions”.[1] Son House used the melody on his 1930 recording of “Mississippi County Farm Blues”.[2]
The song was later covered by Bob Dylan on his eponymous debut album Bob Dylan. He would go on to record the song again with The Band on The Genuine Basement Tapes years later.
