Peetie Wheatstraw - Legend profile


Peetie Wheatstraw (December 21, 1902 – December 21, 1941) was the name adopted by the singer William Bunch, an influential figure among 1930s blues singers. The only known photograph of him shows him holding a National brand tricone resonator guitar, but he played the piano on most of his recordings

A true great. As comfortable with a guitar or playing piano and crooning with a jazz band. I have been blown away by his recordings ever since I came across them. I have attached Gangster blues here, enjoy :))
