Description
*** Pre-War Blues / black string-band ***
Original 1927 US Columbia 78rpm.
Killer 1927 Atlanta, Georgia Country-Blues / black string band stompers. One of the greatest black-string band/Blues groups to record in the late 1920s. Doesn't get much better!
Howell was born on a farm in Eatonton, Georgia. He taught himself to play the guitar at the age of 21 and became skilled in pre-Piedmont fingerpicking and slide-guitar techniques. He continued working on the farm until he was shot in a fight, as a result of which he lost his right leg and began working full-time as a musician. In 1923 he moved to Atlanta, Georgia, and began playing on street corners. He also served time in prison for bootlegging liquor.
In 1926, Howell was heard playing on the streets of Atlanta and was recorded for the first time by Columbia Records, which released "New Prison Blues", written while he was in prison; It was the first country blues record to be issued on the label. Over the next three years Columbia recorded him on several occasions, often accompanied by a small group, with Henry Williams on guitar and Eddie Anthony on fiddle. His recorded repertoire includes Ballads, Ragtime and Jazz, as well as Blues.
