thanks Lawrence~ this is on the album Memphis Masters :

Where the hell did you find this? Very similar style to Blind Willie McTell, but a very unique voice. Great find man.

[lobizoon1]

All his 4 records were in Memphis Tennessee 27 February 1928 for Okeh, as Urban said. Death Bell Blues, Worry Blues, Happy Blues and Labour Blues.

I just love this style of playing. That thumbed bass and 2 finger melody pick. On this piece he really uses it creatively! I'm a huge fan of the Okeh label form 20's blues through 60's funk! Why didn't they record more of this cat though?

Very interesting guitar playing, sounds great!

[daddystovepipe]

Wonderful song with inventive guitarplaying!
