Blind Boy Fuller - 1935-1938 (2004) (4CD Box Set) FLAC

Following
Blind Blake, Blind Boy Fuller is probably the best known of the
so-called Piedmont blues guitarists, a loose group of players from the
Appalachian foothills of North Carolina, South Carolina, and upper
Georgia who specialized in a flashy two- and three-finger picking style.
Fuller was hardly in Blake's league, but his simple, crisp playing and
easy singing style made him immensely popular, and he sold thousands of
records for ARC (and a handful for Decca) until his death in 1941. This
four-disc set from Britain's JSP Records collects everything Fuller did,
100 tracks in all, recorded in just a three-year span between 1935 and
1938, and features Fuller solo and with accompanists like guitarists
Gary Davis (Fuller's guitar teacher, who may have been the greatest
Piedmont picker of them all, but he steadfastly refused to do secular
material) and Floyd Council, washboardist Bull City Red, and harmonica
players Sonny Terry and Charlie Austin. Fuller worked off of a couple of
well-used templates, generally fairly generic tunes with floating blues
verses like "Tom Cat Blues," "Bulldog Blues," and "Weeping Willow,"
along with good-time rag pieces like "Rag, Mama, Rag" and "Piccolo Rag"
(piccolo was seaboard slang for a jukebox), and hybrids between the two,
like his signature piece, "Truckin' My Blues Away" (which is
represented here in three versions, along with several variations on the
theme under different titles). Truthfully, this is probably way more
Blind Boy Fuller than most people will need, and a single-disc comp will
work for most folks, but for serious collectors, having everything in
one set may be just the ticket.

Unlike blues artists like Big
Bill or Memphis Minnie who recorded extensively over three or four
decades, Blind Boy Fuller recorded his substantial body of work over a
short, six-year span. Neverthless, he was one of the most recorded
artists of his time and by far the most popular and influential Piedmont
blues player of all time. Fuller could play in multiple styles: slide,
ragtime, pop, and blues were all enhanced by his National steel guitar.
Fuller worked with some fine sidemen, including Davis, Sonny Terry, and
washboard player Bull City Red. Initially discovered and promoted by
Carolina entrepreneur H. B. Long, Fuller recorded for ARC and Decca. He
also served as a conduit to recording sessions, steering fellow blues
musicians to the studio.
