We Say...
Along with Blind Willie McTell, Fuller is the most compelling of the Piedmont bluesmen, an intricate guitarist and robust singer with a large and varied repertoire; he was also one of the last commercially potent country bluesmen. The North Carolina street singer was best known for nimble, acrobatic rags: "Step It Up and Go" and "Trucking My Blues" are the most enduring, though "Rag, Mama, Rag" (with Rev. Gary Davis), "Piccolo Rag" and "Big Leg Woman Gets My Pay" are nearly as strong. Davis was also devastating on slow blues like "Keep Away From My Woman" and "My Brownskin Sugar Plum," and virtuoso slide workouts like "Homesick and Lonesome Blues." He was hysterically profane on barely-double-entendres like "What's That Smells Like Fish" and suitably pious on gospel material like Davis' "Twelve Gates to the City." He may have been a synthesizer rather than innovator, but hey, so was Robert Johnson. In the case of both men, nobody did it better.

They Say...
The sixth and final volume in the series assembles the fruits of Blind Boy Fuller's final studio sessions, all dating to the first half of 1940. Despite failing health, Fuller is at his most incendiary on these sides -- "Shake It, Baby" is among his most galvanizing dance tunes, while "Little Woman You're So Sweet" stands as one of his finest originals. Most energetic, however, are the sanctified songs, including "No Stranger Now," "Jesus Is a Holy Man" and "Twelve Gates to the City" -- with his death less than a year away, Fuller burns with spiritual intensity, clearly yearning for some kind of redemption in his final months.
