Blind Connie Williams - "Take My Hand, Precious Lord"
The only known footage of Blind Connie Williams, born 1915. His guitar work is insanely good. And that voice. 100% American music right here. The guys on this clip after him are also great but I'm posting for Blind Connie Williams. This unknown bluesman deserves respect.

James Davis – Georgia Drumbeat (1994)
A very rare cd (don't believe it was ever released on lp) of one of the best Georgia blues guitarists ever. Man, I wish there were more from this man. I love his guitar style.

Whistler & His Jug Band~ Hold That Tiger (1931)
Just a simple fun, amazing jug band song from WAY back! (1931) I hope you enjoy this. Whistler and his band were very very popular thru the 20s & early 30s..as far as I know. The were originally from the Louisville Kentucky area and traveled thru the south with their amazing sounds and good time tunes. But sadly- most of the musicians are unknown. No one knows the names of most of these guys. Whistler ..pictured here in the photo on the left (with guitar) was actually Buford Threlkeld. It is known that he had a banjo player named Willie Black- but I am not for certain that Willie Black played on this recording. He could possibly be the banjo player pictured at left next to Whistler. Feel free to download this song from Internet Archives.org. (if you need help with that let me know..this great old song is FREE and open to YOU the people!) I love the tune. Its very happy and when the vocals kick in- its really awesome. The real thing people.
