The Crescent City Blues and BBQ Festival is coming up October 17-19, and to help get you in the mood, we'll have a selection of blues videos over the next couple of weeks. First up, here's the pride of Gause, Texas, Ruthie Foster, with a gospel-inflected take on Son House's "Don't You Mind People Grinnin' In Your Face". This performance was captured by WWOZ on September 27, at the 2014 Bogalusa Blues and Heritage Festival.

Here's a Son House version, with an introduction in which he talks about the ideas behind the song.
