Liner Note Author: Keith Briggs.
Recording information: Chicago, IL; New York, NY.
Georgia slide guitar wizard Curley Weaver is best remembered for his lengthy association with Blind Willie McTell, one of several guitarists who are heard on a 23-track compilation of Weaver records dating from 1933-1935. This disc appeared on Document in 1992, was reissued in 2000, and again in 2005. An expressive vocalist who sang at times like Blind Boy Fuller or Blind Blake, Weaver occasionally shifted into a plaintive falsetto while dexterously manipulating his slide over the fretted neck of the guitar. As is often the case with Document collections released during the '90s, there are occasional instances of poor sound quality, nonethless it remains essential stuff.
