Description: | An overlooked blues master, "Scrapper?
Blackwell was a contemporary of Robert
Johnson and other early Delta blues artists.
A truly remarkable guitarist, he is best known
for his work with pianist Leroy Carr during the
late ??20s and mid-??30s. After Carr??s death, he
retired and didn??t record again until being
rediscovered in the ??50s. An inspiration for
Muddy Waters and T-Bone Walker, Blackwell
seemed a prime candidate for stardom when,
soon after finishing his work on Mr. Scrapper??s
Blues, he was shot to death in a back alley in
Indianapolis, the victim of a mugging. - 180G180-Gram Vinyl Limited Edition - *(*) Down Beat.
