About Fixin' To Die
Fixin’ to Die Blues is a blues song written by legendary Mississippi bluesman Booker T. Washington White. Better known as Bukka White – the name given to him by record company Vocalion. It is unclear exactly when he wrote the song. It is unique amongst the Blues “dying” songs in that its main focus of concern is how death affects the surviving family, as opposed to the more typical blues opinion that death is the natural consequence of a life lived hard and to the full. .
