I've only heard the recordings. You were blessed to hear the real thing.

If you want to hear the music, there's a reissue CD on Yazoo - not everything that's on the Swaggies, but a fine selection and excellent sound. http://www.amazon.com/Aint-Gonna-Worried-More-1929-1941/dp/B000000G8G/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1458181485&sr=1-1&keywords=sleepy+john+estes

The Blues of Sleepy John Estes Volume One (Swaggie)

Some great playing by the horns on both of these, but I found myself tuned in to the masterful bass playing on each.

Hard to turn down an invitation like that one.
