(February 2022) Episode 387 of the “opus project” is BLIND WILLIE McTELL One of the best blues artists there ever was, notable for his fingerpicking style associated with the Piedmont blues. He usually played a 12-string, and you can hear the direct influence on Jimmy Page and others. His voice was smooth and high in a ragtime sound. All without his sight.
Favorite song: East St. Louis Blues (Fare You Well)
Compared to expectations: ↑
Recommendation: essential for any tour of the blues
