Unlike blues artists like Big Bill or Memphis Minnie who recorded
extensively over three or four decades, Blind Boy Fuller recorded his
substantial body of work over a short, six-year span. Neverthless, he
was one of the most recorded artists of his time and by far the most
popular and influential Piedmont blues player of all time. Fuller
could play in multiple styles: slide, ragtime, pop, and blues were
all enhanced by his National steel guitar. Fuller worked with some
fine sidemen, including Davis, Sonny Terry, and washboard player Bull
City Red. Initially discovered and promoted by Carolina entrepreneur
H. B. Long, Fuller recorded for ARC and Decca. He also served as a
conduit to recording sessions, steering fellow blues musicians to the
studio.
In spite of Fuller's recorded output, most of his musical life was
spent as a street musician and house party favorite, and he possessed
the skills to reinterpret and cover the hits of other artists as
well. In this sense, he was a synthesizer of styles, parallel in many
ways to Robert Johnson, his contemporary who died three years
earlier. Like Johnson, Fuller lived fast and died young in 1942, only
33 years old. Fuller was a fine, expressive vocalist and a masterful
guitar player best remembered for his uptempo ragtime hits "Rag Mama
Rag," "Trucking My Blues Away," and "Step It Up and Go." At the same
time he was capable of deeper material, and his versions of "Lost
Lover Blues" or "Mamie" are as deep as most Delta blues. Because of
his popularity, he may have been overexposed on records, yet most of
his songs remained close to tradition and much of his repertoire and
style is kept alive by North Carolina and Virginia artists today.
