| | Description: | Acrobat has devoted a number of collections to the blues guitarists and singers who represent what is known as the Piedmont school of blues - artists whose roots were in the region surrounding Atlanta, Georgia, and developed a fairly distinctive style of blues during the late 1920s and through the '30s, the best-known names including Blind Blake, Barbecue Bob, Blind Willie McTell, Josh White, Blind Boy Fuller and Buddy Moss. Curley Weaver was another prominent Piedmont bluesman, and an especially noted guitarist who was often invited to play on sessions with artists mentioned above, and whose recording career, albeit fitfully, extended through to 1950. This 50-track 2-CD collection comprises recordings under his own name for the Columbia, QRS, Okeh, Banner, Vocalion, Decca, Sittin' In With and Regal labels. It includes recordings which were duets with Eddie Mapp, Ruth Willis, Fred McMullen, Clarence Moore and Blind Willie McTell along with titles where he performed as a member of the Georgia Cotton Pickers alongside Barbecue Bob and Buddy Moss, and The Georgia Browns, and on which he accompanied Buddy Moss or Blind Willie McTell. It's a great showcase for a lesser-known blues luminary who nevertheless made a considerable contribution to the Piedmont sub-genre."The Georgia Guitar Wizard 1928-50" is a comprehensive CD collection by Curley Weaver, released by Acrobat. This album showcases the remarkable journey of one of the most influential blues guitarists from Georgia, capturing recordings spanning over two decades. The compilation features Weaver's signature fingerpicking style and heartfelt vocals, reflecting his deep roots in country blues and his collaborations with other legendary artists like Blind Willie McTell. Listeners are treated to rare tracks that highlight both solo performances and ensemble pieces, offering an authentic glimpse into the evolution of early American blues.
Curley Weaver was a pivotal figure in the Piedmont blues scene. Born in Covington, Georgia in 1906, he became renowned for his intricate guitar work and emotive singing. Throughout his career, Weaver recorded extensively during the late 1920s through to the 1950s and played alongside notable musicians such as Barbecue Bob and Buddy Moss. His influence extended beyond performance; he helped shape the soundscape of Southern blues music.
