Statesboro Blues
Blind Willie McTell

Released 2003

Statesboro Blues focuses on 17 classic performances by Blind Willie McTell. These tracks were recorded between late 1927 through February 1932 for RCA Victor. This is revelatory material recommended to anyone not familiar with the prewar blues master of the 12-string guitar. "Dark Night Blues," "Stole Rider Blues," and the title cut, "Statesboro Blues," are among the highlights along with four tracks recorded under the pseudonym Hot Shot Willie & Ruby Glaze and two featuring McTell and Alfoncy and Bethenea Harris. ~ Al Campbell, All Music Guide
