Sugar Baby comes directly from the high hills of Virginia where Dock Boggs, a lifelong coal miner and songster, first recorded it in the 1920’s. Jo and Bobby learned it in Boggs original form and then Marco “Mysticized” it in the studio with the help of Stu Kimball and Doug Lancio (Both guitarists for Bob Dylan) as well as Duke Levine on banjo to add to the gumbo that is Sugar Baby.#BobDylan #DockBoggs #guitarplayersdaily #virginiamusic
