The Romans transported food and liquid to hundreds of thousands of people across the empire every day and many jugs were needed for this purpose. Jugs played an important in avoiding food shortages.

Song Review by Thomas Ward. One of the very earliest âhot fiveâ recordings, recorded in November 1925, âGut Bucket Bluesâ is also one of the more dated â it sounds great in the context of other music of the period, but rather lacking compared with the music Armstrong would perform only a few months later.
Best guess...Yellow Ledbetter is Hubbie Ledbetter's version of Death Letter Blues as seen thru the ears of Eddie Vedder listening to Jerry Garcia's version of the same...and maybe the Yellow part of the title is the clue, referring to Leadbelly's Yellow Gal....just a guess....after all...music isn't meant to be understood as much as it's meant to be experienced/felt(ooo...another Jimi referrence?)..it's complex simplicity at it's best...
