Essentially a rambling, street musician in Georgia and on the streets of Atlanta, McTell played with a fluid, syncopated fingerstyle guitar technique, although unlike his Piedmont contemporaries, he played twelve-string guitars almost exclusively. He was also an adept slide guitarist, which was unusual among ragtime bluesmen. His vocal style, a smooth and often laid-back tenor, differed greatly from the harsher voices of Delta bluesmen like Charley Patton.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe material on this collection was recorded for Atlantic and Regal, in 1949, although many of these sides would not be released until the late 60s\/early 70s Blues revival, some twenty years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracks: Broke-Down Engine Blues \/ Dying Crapshooter's Blues \/ Pinetop's Boogie Woogie \/ Blues Around Midnight \/ Last Dime Blues \/ On The Cooling Board \/ Motherless Children Have A Hard Time \/ Soon This Morning \/ Don't Forget It \/ A To Z Blues \/ Good Little Thing \/ You Can't Get Stuff No More \/ Love Changin' Blues \/ Savannah Mama \/ Talkin' To You Mama \/ East St. Louis \/ Wee Midnight Hours \/ Pal Of Mine \/ Honey It Must Be Love \/ Sending Up My Timber (Tk. 2) \/ Lord Have Mercy If You Please \/ It's My Desire \/ Hide Me In Thy Bosom \/ River Jordan \/ How About You \/ Trying To Get Home (Climbing High Mountains)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jasmine","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50464773243211,"sku":"1154717","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/30db8924-ffe1-4184-8a1b-40fdcf37db0f_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727278986","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/the-syncopated-country-blues-of-blind-willie-mctell","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
