I'm in the same camp as Bob the Postman on this- I stumbled across Blind Willie McTell's Last Session in 1963 and was even more moved by the 12 string than I had been by Leadbelly's steam-engine accompaniments. I have heard some unknown but unmistable Willie McTell on KBCS FM across the sound in Bellevue, Washington, recorded under another name, probably dodging some other record company's claims on him. Does anyone know other names he used?
