Nobody sings the blues like Blind Willie McTell!Review created: 10/05/06(updated 10/05/06)

If you are a country or New Orleans blues fan, especially 1950s and before then this is another keeper for your collection. The Pig N Whistle was a barbeque restaurant in Atlanta, and McTell played there as Pig N Whistle Red in the 1950s. The recordings have an informal live set feel, with asides to the other musicians. The recording clarity is excellent and the songs just don't get old. Most of McTell's songs refer to Georgia and Tennessee, and hobo rides on trains. His guitar technique is amazing, And no one sings the Blues like Willie McTell! What a great CD!

This guy does really catchy songs. The guitar playing is really original and is better than most of the guitar work you will hear from mainstream guitarists (except for Jack White, of course). In my opinion, Blind Willie McTell is the best blues artist around. He doesn't stick to the same blues formula that most of the other blues artists seem to use. As a result, this album has a lot of variety, and I can't stop listening to it.
