This disc appeared on Document in 1992, was reissued in 2000, and again in 2005. An expressive vocalist who sang at times like Blind Boy Fuller or Blind Blake, Weaver occasionally shifted into a plaintive falsetto while dexterously manipulating his slide over the fretted neck of the guitar. His friendship with fellow Georgians Blind Buddy Keith, Nemehiah Smith, Barbecue Bob, Charlie Lincoln, and Eddie Mapp are legendary. This is only a taste of his recorded legacy; Weaver cut his first sides in 1928 and made his final recordings in 1950 with his old friend Willie McTell. Vocalist Ruth Willis, who was closely affiliated with Weaver and his circle of musical friends, is heard in a duet with him on 'Some Cold Rainy Day.' Tracks 6-13 are played by the Georgia Browns, a lively little band involving guitarist Fred McMullen and Weaver's harmonica-toting pal Buddy Moss. 'Tampa Strut' and 'Decatur Street 81' are two of this group's choicest sides, while 'Who Stole de Lock?' has a decidedly more rural feel to it than the 1932 recording by Jack Bland's Rhythmakers. Both renditions benefit from a comparison with two earlier recordings of the tune by Bryant's Jubilee Quartet, a fine gospel and secular vocal harmony group whose complete works have also been reissued by Document.\u003cp\u003eNo No Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeg Iron Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome Cold Rainy Day\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTippin' Tom\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBirmingham Gambler\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTampa Strut\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecatur Street 81\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNext Door Man (Take 1)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNext Door Man (Take 2)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt Must Have Been Her\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWho Stole De Lock?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoker Man\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou Was Born To Die\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirty Mistreater\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack Woman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCity Cell Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmpty Room Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTricks Ain't Walking No More\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSometime Mama\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOh Lawdy Mama\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo Faced Woman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarly Morning Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFried Pie Blues\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55128692687233,"sku":"1373720","price":14.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51MF-mdzXUL._SL1500.jpg?v=1766780610","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1373720","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
