H-Bomb with Varetta- “Tortured Love”

In 1952 H-Bomb and Varetta Dillard recorded 2 duets. I play one of them called “Double Crossin’ Daddy” on this weeks show to be aired on 2nd September 2025, where Varetta takes the lead Vocal and H-Bomb spouts off in the background. This is the other of those duets, where H-Bomb takes the lead calling Varetta’s name repeatedly.

Willie Joe And His Unitar

This week in Rhythm & Roots #25 I play a track by Willie Joe Duncan and his Unitar. I’ve played Willie Joe’s music before, but I thought the Unitar needed some additional context.

As this photo shows the Unitar was a 7+ foot plank of wood with a single wire strung along its length. Seasick Steve calls a similar, albeit smaller instrument, a one stringed diddley bow.
I reckon if that unitar string broke it could’ve taken Willie Joe’s head clean off!
