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.

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).

16 classic Paramount blues sides that demonstrate a range of subjects and styles from the haunted to the wacky, from the urban to the rural.
