(From Wikipedia)
""Furry Sings the Blues" was inspired by a meeting that occurred between Mitchell and the blues guitarist and singer Furry Lewis in Memphis in 1976. Lewis was displeased with Mitchell's unauthorized use of his name and "hated" the song.
He told Rolling Stone in February 1977: "She shouldn't have used my name in no way, shape, form or faction without consultin' me 'bout it first. The woman came over here and I treated her right, just like I does everybody that comes over. She wanted to hear 'bout the old days, said it was for her own personal self, and I told it to her like it was, gave her straight oil from the can."
