Although the legendary Blind McTell is conspicuously absent from The Georgia Blues, his influence is still felt through the presence of Atlanta musicians who operated within the outer periphery of his orbit as well as the prevalence of 12-string guitars on the performances herein. Fred McMullen was best-known as an associate of guitarist Curley Weaver (who served as accompanist on a significant number of McTell's 78s) but displays a compelling musical individuality on "Wait and Listen," an interpretation of the "Big Road Blues" theme most closely associated with artists from Mississippi. As an elder statesman of the aforementioned city's prewar blues scene, it should not be surprising that Joshua "Peg Leg" Howell also presents the most rural-sounding piece on this collection, "Rolling Mill Blues." The addition of Eddie Anthony's violin gives it something of a white flavor in accordance with the booklet notes' contention that it is "of hillbilly origin." The commentary also concedes that although Blind Blake was a native of Florida, his "career was frequently Georgia-based before it allegedly ended with his death in the 1930s," thus accounting for the appearance of "Police Dog Blues" and "That'll Never Happen No More." Amos "Bumble Bee Slim" Easton and James "Kokomo" Arnold exemplify Georgia-born guitarists whose musical identities were primarily developed in Northern cities as demonstrated on the former's "No Woman No Nickel" and the latter's earliest sides from 1930, "Rainy Night Blues" and "Paddlin' Blues," both recorded under the nom de disc "Gitfiddle Jim." In contrast, I have no idea why the lackluster "Can't Be Trusted Blues" by Louisville, Kentucky musician Sylvester Weaver (whose instrumental recordings are of far greater interest) was selected for inclusion. The remaining cuts, however, can be thoroughly appreciated as excellent examples of a distinctively Georgian approach to playing 12-string slide guitar. Robert "Barbecue Bob" Hicks, seems to have been most responsible for popularizing this style and contributes with the superb "Unnamed Blues," while his brother Charlie Lincoln (aka "Laughing Charley," nee Hicks) offers his own intriguing variation on this modus operandi with the sexually euphemistic "Doodle Hole Blues." Willie Baker and George Carter are performers of a more deliberate variety with a penchant for a comparatively delicate touch as displayed on "Weak-Minded Blues," "Rising River Blues," "Hot Jelly Roll Blues," and "Crooked Woman Blues."
