## Summary

Blind Willie McTell was born William Samuel McTell in Georgia in 1901. He lost his sight as a child but learned guitar early, performing publicly by the 1920s. His recordings from that period have a raw, unpolished quality that feels immediate even now. McTell's music drew from blues, gospel, and folk traditions. He sang in a haunting voice over intricate guitar patterns, writing songs like 'You Was Born To Die'...
