Scrapper Blackwell Mr.Scrapper's Blues (LP. 180g Vinyl)

(Blues Joint) 11 tracks

The almost overlooked blues master 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 during the late 1920s and mid-1930s. He retired after Carr's death and did not record again until he was rediscovered in the 1950s.

An inspiration to Muddy Waters and T-Bone Walker, Blackwell seemed to be a prime candidate for stardom when, shortly after finishing his work on Mr Scrapper's Blues, he was robbed and shot to death in an Indianapolis back alley.
