Blind Blake (1927)

"He made [the guitar] sound like every instrument in the band - saxophone, trombone, clarinets, bass fiddles, pianos - everything. I never had seed then and I haven't to this day yet seed no one that could take his natural fingers and pick as much guitar as Blind Blake." - Big Bill Broonzy

Arthur Blake was Paramount Records' best-selling blues artist, right until the company went bankrupt, recording 80 tracks for the label between 1926 and 1932.

Until recently, almost nothing was known about this guitar virtuoso before and after those dates. Research published in 2011 laid some rumours to rest however, confirming a birthplace (Newport News, Virginia in 1896) as well as a cause of death (TB in 1934, after being hospitalised for pneumonia the year before).
