Blind Willie McTell, birth name William Samuel McTier, (May 5, 1898/1901/1903 – August 19, 1959) was an American singer and guitarist from Georgia and one of the most important representatives of the Piedmont blues. McTell died shortly before the blues revival of the 1960s, but his Statesboro Blues became known in 1968 with the Taj Mahal blues rock performance, followed in 1971 by The Allman Brothers Band's version. Around the same time, his original recordings from the 1920s and 1930s were being re-released and this rediscovery inspired Bob Dylan to write the line, "Nobody can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell." Blind Willie McTell remains popular in the 21st century, as evidenced by the covers of his work by The White Stripes, who also dedicated their album De Stijl to him.
