Disc A is Blind Boy Fuller, accompanied by musicians such as Sonny Terry. Disc B has 12 tracks by Blind Boy Fuller. The remaining tracks on the discs are various artists. In the summer of 1939, J.B. Long drove Blind Boy Fuller, Sonny Terry and George (Oh Red) Washington to Memphis for a July 12 recording session. Fuller went first, cutting twelve titles, three solo, five with Terry's harmonica, five with Oh Red's washboard (only 'I Want Some Of Your Pie' had both Terry and Red present). Two, 'You've Got Something There' and 'Red's Got The Piccolo Blues', featured a second guitar probably played by Sonny Jones, who cut three titles of his own at the end of the session.

Following Blind Blake, Blind Boy Fuller is probably the best known of the so-called Piedmont blues guitarists, a loose group of players from the Appalachian foothills of North Carolina, South Carolina, and upper Georgia who specialized in a flashy two- and three-finger picking style. Fuller was hardly in Blake's league, but his simple, crisp playing and easy singing style made him immensely popular, and he sold thousands of records for ARC (and a handful for Decca) until his death in 1941. This four-disc set from Britain's JSP Records collects everything Fuller did, 100 tracks in all, recorded in just a three-year span between 1935 and 1938, and features Fuller solo and with accompanists like guitarists Gary Davis (Fuller's guitar teacher, who may have been the greatest Piedmont picker of them all, but he steadfastly refused to do secular material).

Blind Blake is a figure of enormous importance in American music. Not only was he one of the greatest blues guitarists of all-time, Blake seems to have been the primary developer of "finger-style" ragtime on the guitar, the six-string equivalent to playing ragtime on the piano. Blake mastered this form so completely that few, if any, guitarists who have learned to play in this style since Blake have been able to match his quite singular achievements in this realm. Blind Blake was the most frequently recorded blues guitarist in the Paramount Records' race catalog; indeed, Paramount waxed him as often as they could, as he was their best-selling artist. By the time the Paramount label folded in the fall of 1932, Blake had recorded an amazing 79 known sides for them under his own name and had contributed accompaniments to Paramount recordings by other artists such as Gus Cannon, Papa Charlie Jackson, Irene Scruggs, Ma Rainey and Ida Cox to name only a few.
