Blind Boy Fuller - Piedmont Picker

"Blind Boy Fuller was THE North Carolina Piedmont style blues picker extraordinaire. Aficionados of any type of fingerstyle guitar will definitely appreciate this album. The fourteen tracks assembled here represent Fuller's strongest work. His National steel guitar seems to drive itself through his fluid melodic licks and signature thumb-roll bass runs, and his warm baritone voice is more inviting to rookies than the gravelled throats of many of his contemporaries.



Fuller recorded extensively for ARC and Decca from 1935 to 1940. This is his best work. If one wishes to go further, I recommend JSP's 4-disc box "Blind Boy Fuller Remastered 1935-1938"."

Blind boy rules!

"Blind Boy Fuller, among the best of the "Blind Bluesmen" (ie Blind WIllie Johnson, Blind Blake, Blind Gary Davis, and Blind Willie McTell), reveals his true talent on this highly reccommended compilation. It contains some of the greatest American music ever to be composed, performed, and recorded! Buy this for the love of God almighty!"
