These tracks were recorded between late 1927 through February 1932 for RCA Victor, and while there are other more comprehensive Willie McTell-compilations, this one is a very good starting place for anyone not familiar with the prewar blues master.

McTell was a magnificent guitarist and a fine, expressive singer, and songs like "Writin' Paper Blues", "Stole Rider Blues", "Love Changing Blues", and the classic "Statesboro Blues" are not just among his best singles, they're simply some of the finest, most sophisticated prewar blues singles ever recorded. And the beautiful slide guitar-workout "Mama 't'Ain't Long Fo' Day" is perhaps the most inspired song of the lot, one of the most remarkable blues tunes you'll ever hear, played by a true master of his craft. ~Docendo Discimus
