Mr. Scrapper's Blues

Description

+ 1 Bonus trackAn often-overlooked master of the blues, “Scrapper” Blackwell was a contemporary of Robert Johnson and other early Delta blues artists. A truly remarkable guitarist, he is best known for his work with pianist Leroy Carr in the late 1920s and mid-1930s. After Carr’s death, he retired and didn’t record again until he was rediscovered in the 1950s. An inspiration to Muddy Waters and T-Bone Walker, Blackwell seemed a prime candidate for stardom when he was shot to death in an Indianapolis alley, the victim of a mugging, shortly after completing his work on “Mr. Scrapper’s Blues.”
