Track list
Seminal American blues guitarist and vocalist Robert Wilkins (1896-1987) played on the Memphis blues scene at the same time as Furry Lewis, Son House, Charley Patton and Memphis Minnie, and was versatile in a range of styles, including ragtime, blues, minstrel and gospel. These recordings cover his early years as a recording artist, from his debut recording session for Victor in 1928, which yielded the famous “Rolling Stone”, plus three more tracks, followed by 8 more tracks recorded for Vocalion in 1929-30, which included the legendary “That’s No Way To Get Along / aka “Prodigal Son” (famously covered by the Rolling Stones). The final 5 tracks were recorded in Jackson, Miss. in 1935 and feature a second guitar player and a spoons player, resulting in the production of another classic, “Old Jim Canan’s”. In 1935 Wilkins left secular music altogether, becoming an ordained minister and herbalist. He was, however, rediscovered in the 1960s during the blues revival and played various festivals during this time, including Newport.
