A?man once immortalised in song by Bob Dylan, no less, BLIND WILLIE McTELL was a noted Piedmont Blues and Ragtime singer and guitarist, who made his first recordings in the late 1920s. Dylan sang: "And I know no one can sing The Blues like Blind Willie McTell. "Essentially a rambling, street musician in Georgia and on the streets of Atlanta, McTell played with a fluid, syncopated fingerstyle guitar technique, although unlike his Piedmont contemporaries, he played twelve-string guitars almost exclusive. He was also an adept slide guitarist, which was unusual among Ragtime Bluesmen. His vocal style, a smooth and often laid-back tenor, differed greatly from the harsher voices of Delta Bluesmen like Charley Patton. The material on this collection was recorded for Atlantic and Regal, in 1949, although many of these sides would not be released until the late 60s/early 70s Blues revival, some twenty years later.
