Blind Blake recorded about 80 tracks for Paramount records in the late twenties. He was one of the most accomplished guitarists of his genre with a surprisingly diverse range of material.
Very little is known about his life. His birthplace was listed as Jacksonville, Florida by Paramount Records but even that is in dispute. Nothing is known of his death. Even his name is not certain. The copyright submissions for his songs use some variation on Blind Arthur Blake although there is a suggestion that his real name was Arthur Phelps.
There is only one photograph of Blind Blake in existence.
