Leroy Carr - A Career Anthology: Vocalion & Bluebird Recordings 1928-35 [CD]

Leroy Carr was one of the most important of all the early blues singers and songwriters. Music historian Elijah Wald called him "the most influential male blues singer and songwriter of the first half of the 20th century". He was a pianist and singer, developing a distinctive and sophisticated laid-back style with a hip urban feel that was different from most of his country blues contemporaries.
