....and one of the finest-if not the best- 12-string guitarists, pdq.
He's even better than Leadbelly.

Leadbelly,

I think you are right about her name being Ruth. It seems the correct name is "God Don't Like It" and it can be found on "Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 3 (1933-1935)" and on the Yazoo CD " Doing That Atlanta Strut: 1927 - 1935." Good song, kinda funny. Willie McTell was the best stroryteller in blues.

It was many years ago (sometime in the mid-seventies -- eek!) when last I heard them, but I still have wonderful memories of our own Jon Bartlett and singing partner Rika Ruebsaat.

Pdq - Might have been Mary Ruth Willis aka Ruth Day. But I'm not quite sure about this. Need some help, folks!!!

Amongst others,Ruth and Willie did record (which is known by me)

- Rough Alley Blues
- Experience Blues
- Painful Blues
- Low Down Blues


Apart from this here are some other songs done by Willie & Kate:

- Rollin' Mama Blues
- Lonesome day Blues
- Searching the desert (for the blues)(great!)

Leadbelly,

Didn't they also do "I Don't Like It" or was that another lady singing with Willie McTell?

Subject: RE: Folk duos to remember

Date: 27 Mar 07 - 03:45 PM

Blind Willie McTell (aka Hot Shot Willie) & Ruthie Kate Mc Tell
(aka Ruby Glaze) e.g. songs like this...

- Mama, let me scoop for you
- Aint't it great to be a christian
- Loving talking blues

That's blues. But if this ain't folk, what is folk...?

Mundy-Turner. Not really folk, but an excellent pair of musicians (and nice people too).

At the time of Tundra I frankly preferred Vulcan's Hammer (Phil and Kay Burkin)

I used to have that live album of Downes and Beer. Paul commented, "Wasn't it awful?" when I saw him some time later. I don't think it was, but it definitely needed a bit of editing. I do not think they ever really got the essence of their live show down on record, but maybe that would be expecting too much. I am just very glad that I was there to see and hear it. I thought they were quite magical.

Downes & Beer were magical indeed. Paul Downes of course is so self-deprecating that he turned up at that last Downes & Beer gig with a whole three copies of his own latest solo CD and was then surprised when he sold them all.

I know that Phil Beer is planning on including some Downes & Beer material in the 4 CD career-spanning box set he is currently putting together. The original plan was that was to go on sale to coincide with the solo tour he starts just after the SOH gig at the RAH next month. Whether he has kept to that timetable I know not, but I'm certainly looking forward to finding out what he has included when it does hit his merch desk.
