Blind Willie McTell

Another great Piedmont Blues singer and picker. One of the originals, Blind Willie McTell Piedmont picking a twelve string.

This is one of my favorite blues tunes (yeah, along with 10,000 or so others). Lots of other folks like it, too, for as many times as it's been covered. But THIS is the original.

"I ain't good lookin' but I'm some sweet woman's angel child. . ."
