Review:
Great Blues
This is a very good album of recordings by one of the great old
bluesmen. Blind Willie McTell doesn't
really need a critique from me, but plays and sings superbly here. Bob Dylan said in his tribute song to the
man: "And I know no one can sing
the blues like Blind Willie McTell."
Enough said, I think.
These tracks were
all recorded in Atlanta, Georgia between 1927 and 1931 and they sound really
good. I don't know what cleaning-up has
been done or by whom, but they've made a really good job of it. It still sounds authentic but the sound is
clear and distinct so Blind Willie's singing and particularly his playing
really shine out.
Quite simply, if
you like the Blues, don't hesitate. This
is a very good set of recordings of great performances. Very warmly recommended.
