Wow! You can hear echoes of his music, particularly his guitar, in the great blues bands of the 60's & 70's.

I checked my model records, and I have a lot from 1933. Here's a few from the US:
BTW, the more I listen to blues music, the more I realize there are only a few basic tunes. The lyrics make all the difference.

@mg-harv beautiful collection and quite reflective of a creative time in history.
The lyrics and the expression of the blues songs is key to me. The combination of the reflection of hard times (terrible for many) and the sense of humor and hopefulness come thru on many of these early blues. 👍

@jkuvakas McTell's most famous song, "Statesboro Blues", was first adapted by Taj Mahal with Jesse Ed Davis on slide guitar, then covered on an LP and frequently performed by the Allman Brothers Band;[13] it also contributes to Canned Heat's "Goin' Up the Country"
he also recorded a few religious tunes including Sending Up My Timber and Hide me in thy bosom.

It's cool how these songs are re-imagined and played again. Wake up mama...! 1930s blues to 1970 southern rock!

@karl turn your lamp down low. Dave Bromberg does a killer version.

@bob-jackman Here is a green one, and among the very shaky photo's I've just posted, (taken really just to remind me of what I have, rather than to share) you may just detect a black boat-tail with bright blue upholstery.
