Willie McTell's "Last Session" lp was the second or third blues record I ever bought. I was disappointed after the first listen-through because it wasn't a bit like Robert Johnson but I soon came to realise that I had lucked onto a real treasure.

Does anyone have anything to say about the connections (if any) between McTell and the blind hillbilly guitarist Riley Puckett? I read somewhere (probably on Mudcat) that they both went to the same school for the blind. Their styles are not dissimilar but I don't know enough to really compare and contrast. Anybody?
