We decided to reiussue Guitar Gabriel's Toot Blues for Music Maker's 30th anniversary! Guitar Gabriel was our founding partner artist, and we're so excited to bring back this release in its original form, cassette.
"One thing that serious blues collectors absolutely love is obscurity; they love to find a recording by an obscure, little-known bluesman and tell other blues collectors about it. There is nothing wrong with looking for recordings by obscure bluesmen as long as they are good, solid recordings, and "Toot Blues" is a good, solid recording." "Guitar Gabriel: Toot Blues, originally issued as a cassette in 1991, stands as Music Maker's first official recording. This nine-song collection reveals Guitar Gabe rendering songs such as "Do You Know What It Means To Have A Friend" and "Amazing Grace", as a holy musical messenger." -James Calemine
