Nobody can sing the blues as Blind Willie McTell ' (1), this at least is what Bob Dylan sentences in the topic who dedicated this big bluesman and who helped to increase his legend. A legend that as it usually happens often did not start blowing up even after his death, especially immediately after that in 1959 Sam Charters was including in the album that was accompanying his famous book ' The Country Blues ' one of his topics, ' Statesboro blues ', which later would be taken to the reputation in 1968 by Taj Mahal on his disc of debut and especially in 1971 by Allman Brothers Band in his mythical double album ' Live at Fillmore East ' (2).

William Samuel McTell, better known as Blind Willie McTell (May 5, 1898 (sometimes reported as 1901 or 1903) August 19, 1959), was an influential American blues singer, songwriter, and guitarist. He was a twelve-string finger picking Piedmont blues guitarist, and recorded 149 songs between 1927 and 1956.

It's an occasion to tell the world that Stateboro blues was a Blind Willie composition. ' cause a lot of people think that it's a Taj Mahal or Allman Bros song. Btw, please lissen to Taj' version even just for Jesse Ed Davis' work on slide, & if you don't know him, be sure you'll not waist your time . thanxs Raiwons, & happy new year, y'all. ( if you're not dead on dec.21, rrr)

If, I feel it, when I realized or was too much behind schedule, it does not eliminate the video by respect the commentaries that it had, thanks a greeting.
