Album Notes
Personnel: Leroy Carr (vocals, piano); Scrapper Blackwell (vocals, guitar).
Recorded in Chicago, Illinois in 1929 & 1930. Includes liner notes by Alan Balfour.
Some consider Leroy Carr the first urban bluesman, or at least the first truly great urban blues piano player, influencing generations of players from Roosevelt Sykes to Otis Spann. Born in Nashville and raised in Indianapolis, Leroy Carr had something of the urban sophisticate about his relaxed, laid-back playing and singing style, with the powerful rhythm guitar and blues-holler backing vocals of his longtime partner Francis "Scrapper" Blackwell adding just the right touch of country grit.
Carr and Blackwell were wildly popular in their time, until Carr drank himself to death in 1935 at the age of 30. This 24-track compilation--the second in a six-volume series collecting all of Carr and Blackwell's master recordings in chronological order--is outstanding early blues, with at least two all-time classics of the style, "Naptown Blues" and "I Won't Miss You When You're Gone" among the many highlights.
