Our Take
Our Take
Blind Willie McTell, the Atlanta blues legend, is back with a vengeance on his latest album, "Trying to Get Home." And let me tell you, this album is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions. McTell's gravelly vocals and intricate guitar work on tracks like "Broke Down Engine Blues" will make you want to grab a bottle of whiskey and ponder life's deepest mysteries.
But don't think for a second that this album is all doom and gloom. McTell also showcases his lighter side on songs like "Southern Can Mama" and "Love Changing Blues." These upbeat tunes will have you tapping your feet and clapping along in no time.
One of the stand-out tracks on the album is "It's My Desire," where McTell's soulful voice shines through the stripped-back instrumentation. It's a raw and honest look at longing and desire that will tug at your heartstrings.
Overall, "Trying to Get Home" is a perfect mix of traditional blues and modern sensibilities. Blind Willie McTell proves once again why he is considered one of the greats in the genre. So grab a drink, sit back, and let Blind Willie McTell take you on a journey through the deep south with this fantastic album.

About the artist
Blind Willie McTell
Blind Willie McTell, the enigmatic blues musician from Georgia, is one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. With a distinctive fingerpicking style and soulful voice, McTell's music has captivated audiences for decades. Born in 1898, McTell began his musical career at a young age, performing on street corners and in juke joints across the South. His lyrics often reflected the struggles of African Americans in the Jim Crow era, earning him a reputation as a powerful storyteller. McTell's most famous song, "Statesboro Blues," is a blues standard that has been covered by countless artists, including The Allman Brothers Band. His ability to blend traditional blues with elements of folk and country music set him apart from his peers and cemented his legacy in the music industry. Despite his immense talent, McTell never achieved mainstream success during his lifetime. However, his influence can be heard in the work of artists such as Bob Dylan, who paid tribute to McTell in his song "Blind Willie McTell." McTell's music continues to resonate with listeners today, with his recordings being reissued and celebrated by a new generation of fans. His impact on the blues genre cannot be understated, and his legacy lives on through his timeless music. Blind Willie McTell may have been blind, but his music speaks volumes.
