Blind Willie McTell was a prolific 12-string blues guitarist and vocalist born on May 05, 1898 in Thomson, GA, United States. He recorded numerous 78s for various labels during the 1920s and '30s, often using different names. In 1940, he was discovered by field recordist John A. Lomax while performing as a street musician in Atlanta, Georgia and recorded for the Library of Congress. Although he experienced a brief revival in his career in 1949 with recordings for Atlantic and Regal labels, McTell never regained the level of fame he had during the "race records" era. Sadly, he passed away from a stroke on August 19, 1959 in Milledgeville, GA.

Blind Willie McTell's unique style influenced many other artists such as *Son House*, *Blind Boy Fuller*, *Skip James*, *Blind Willie Johnson*, *Charley Patton*, and more. His music continues to inspire blues enthusiasts today.
