I just found this artist while doing some research into Acapella spirituals of the early 20th century. I can't find where he was born, but apparently he was active during the Folk Revolution of the 60s and is often mentioned in context with Josh White. His music is fascinating, a mixture of blues and old time gospel.

On the Document compilation "Blind Joe Taggart Vol. 1 (1926-1928)", a track is included by Blind Percy and his Blind Band - "Coal River Blues". Is this the same artist, just secular vs sacred?
