Going to Your Funeral in a Vee Eight Ford · Buddy Moss
‘For the brief time between 1932 and 1935, Eugene "Buddy" Moss was, in the estimation of many blues scholars, the most influential East Coast guitarist.
A younger contemporary of Blind Willie McTell and Curley Weaver, Moss was part of a near-legendary group of Atlanta bluesmen, and one of the few of his era lucky enough to work into the blues revival of the '60s and '70s.
A guitaris’t of uncommon skill and dexterity, he was a musical disciple of Blind Blake, and may well have served as an influence on Piedmont-style guitarist Blind Boy Fuller. Although his career was halted abruptly in 1935 by a six-year jail term, and then by the Second World War, he lived long enough to be rediscovered in the '60s, when he revealed a talent undamaged by time or adversity.’
