Sylvester Palmer - Lonesome Man Blues

Probably Wesley Wallace on piano, to my ears anyway...

[Bumblebee38]

Palmer and Wallace were TWO different pianists but both played in ST LOUIS

read Henry Townsend

[blindleroygarnett]

@Bumblebee38 maybe you're right. But their styles are quite similar. To my ears - I wasn't there - Palmer does not accompany himself.

@blindleroygarnett

Sylvester Palmer was a PIANIST who tracelled from St Louis to Chicago with Henry Townsend tfor the purpose of making thoses records .He died soon after the session

[blindleroygarnett]

@Bumblebee38 I never said he wasn't a pianist, but was he the pianist on this record? Compare it to 'Fanny Lee Blues', for instance.

After carefully comparing all of the known recordings I have come to the conclusion that Wesley Wallace and Sylvester Palmer were the same person.
