Memphis Blues Vol. 1

here is the NFO file from Indietorrents

Taken from a review by Thom Owens at AllMusic:

“Document’s Memphis Blues 1928-1935 contains the 14 Robert Wilkins sides that are currently in circulation, augmented with cuts by a pair of country bluesmen, Tom Dickinson and Allen Shaw. Since Wilkins’ recordings are also available on Yazoo’s Original Rolling Stone, which is easier to find than this disc, Memphis Blues 1928-1935 isn’t a necessary purchase for Wilkins fans, unless they’re serious country-blues fans who want the cuts by Dickinson and Shaw, as well.”

Personally, i’d say the Tom Dickson and Allen Shaw completely make it a worthy purchase. Classic country blues sound from the preservationist Document Records, who’s sole mission seems to be to amass discographies of the more obscure players of early-to-mid 1900’s American music.
