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...
Volume five in Document's Blind Boy Fuller series is comprised primarily of two prolific sessions, the first recorded in Columbia, South Carolina on October 29, 1938 with harpist Sonny Terry and washboard player Bull City Red, the second a Memphis date from July 12, 1939 with Terry, Bull City Red (now going as Oh Red) and second guitarist Sonny Jones. The latter is perhaps the most impressive, yielding the signature song "I Want Some of Your Pie" as well as "You've Got Something There" (a rewrite of Buddy Moss' "Daddy Don't Care") and Fuller's immortal rendition of J.B. Long's "Step It Up and Go."
