Remarks :
"Dust My Broom" is a blues standard originally recorded as "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom" by Robert Johnson, the Mississippi Delta blues singer and guitarist, on November 23, 1936 in San Antonio, Texas. The song was originally released on 78 rpm format as Vocalion 03475, ARC 7-04-81 and Conqueror 8871.
But the frase "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom" was literally lifted from Kokomo Arnold's "Sagefield Woman Blues" (recorded in September 1934) and Kokomo Arnold's "Sissy Man Blues" recorded in January 1935.
Leroy Carr’s "I Believe I’ll Make A Change" recorded in August 1934, was also a precursor.
But already in January 1933 Jack Kelly recorded "Believe I'll Go Back Home", which is also an early version of this standard.
But the earliest variant of the "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom" standard goes back to February 1932, when the Sparks Brothers (Pinetop and Lindberg) recorded it as "I Believe I’ll Make A Change".
