They Say All Music Guide

God knows what this is doing in Legacy’s Roots N’ Blues series; it’s a long way from Blind Willie McTell and Bukka White to this. Anyway, this has 20 of his OKeh sides from the late ’20s, including a “Lovesick Blues” that served as the model for Hank Williams’ hit with the same song in 1949. The Georgia Crackers accompany Miller on every cut, with a cast including Tommy & Jimmy Dorsey (present on every track), Jack Teagarden, and Gene Krupa. More of historical interest and musical significance than anything else, with a thorough sleeve note from country music authority Charles Wolfe. – Richie Unterberger
