Music historian Elijah Wald called him 'the most influential male blues singer and songwriter of the first half of the 20th century'. He was a pianist and singer, developing a distinctive and sophisticated laid-back style with a hip urban feel that was different from most of his country blues contemporaries. Working for much of his career with guitarist Scrapper Blackwell, he produced a substantial body of work in a few short years - his impact and influence is made all the more extraordinary by the fact that he succumbed to the effects of alcohol addiction in 1935 at the age of 31. This 130-track 6-CD collection comprises just about all his releases on the Vocalion and Bluebird labels, plus some titles that were not released at the time, and featuring many performances with Scrapper Blackwell, plus some with Josh White. It includes famous compositions like 'How Long, How Long Blues', 'Blues Before Sunrise', 'Papa's On The House Top', 'When The Sun Goes Down', 'Midnight Hour Blues', 'Shady Lane Blues', 'Hurry Down Sunshine' and more. It's a substantial and comprehensive showcase for the work and talents of one of the genre's true greats. \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc
