Producer: Johnny Parth; Johnny Parth (Compilation) Distributor: Allegro Corporation (Dist Notes: Personnel: Blind Blake (vocals, guitar); Leola B. Wilson (vocals); Nelson's Paramount Serenaders (kazoo); Jimmy Blythe (piano). Liner Note Author: Alan Balfour. Blind Blake, one of the top blues guitarists and singers of the 1920s, is a mystery figure whose birth and death dates are not definitively known. He recorded 84 selections in six years (1926-1932), and fortunately all have been reissued on four Document CDs. Vol. 1 mostly features Blake in unaccompanied performances other than six numbers backing singer Leola Wilson, one song in which he is joined by a kazoo player and two in which someone plays rattlebones behind his guitar. Among the classics heard on this CD are "Early Morning Blues," "Too Tight," "Come on Boys Let's Do That Messin' Around," and "Seabord Stomp." All four of Blind Blake's Document CDs are essential for every serious blues collection. ~ Scott Yanow
