The Early Years 1927-1933
Blind Willie McTell

Released 1989

This is one of the few Yazoo records that cannot be recommended as a potential first choice, because it was done relatively early. The sound is okay, but the song selection -- all made up of pre-World War II material, as usual for Yazoo -- is rather paltry compared with McTell collections that have come out since. It's not a bad choice, just not as good as some others, and it does include a decent, if limited, cross-section of early material, including "Statesboro Blues." ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide
