Blind Boy Fuller – Complete Recorded Works In Chronological Order – Volume 1 – Document Records DOCD-5091

Presented in this stunning collection are the earliest efforts of an undisputed blues master who, in total, recorded over the course of his career 129 brilliant blues songs.  This Document Records assemblage is the first of seven volumes that the label extends in profiling Fuller’s virtuosity, and it brings forth for consideration his blues visions that demonstrate his entire matchless roster of fully developed styles of playing, counting both rags and straight-ahead blues.  Without question, Fuller was correspondingly adroit when employing both complicated finger-picking as well as bottleneck slide guitar approaches.  Fully complementary is Fuller’s assured and refined singing. 

This gathering is considered essential and belongs in any blues collection of merit.
