Etta Baker was born in North Carolina in 1913 and was influenced by the music of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
This is a collection of mostly acoustic guitar instrumentals from the 78 year old artist whose previous recording, "Instrumental Music of the Southern Appalachians" on the Tradition Records label, was released in 1956.
Guitarist/vocalist Etta Baker hadn't made any recordings or even been in a studio since 1956 before making the 20 numbers comprising this CD. But judging from the arresting vocals, prickly accompaniment, and commanding presence she displayed on each song, it seemed as if she had been cutting tracks daily. Baker moved from sassy and combative blues tunes like "Never Let Your Deal Go Down" and "But on the Other Hand Baby" to chilling numbers like "Police Dog Blues," novelty tunes, double-entendre cuts, folk pieces, and even country-flavored material. Singing and playing in vintage Piedmont style with a two- and three-finger technique, Etta Baker offers timeless, memorable performances. ~ Ron Wynn
Personnel: Etta Baker (vocals, guitar, banjo); Cora Phillips (guitar).Option (Jan/Feb 92) - Recommended - "...There is a wealth of traditional music here, mainly from the black Appalachian blues of the early part of the century...This disc is a treasure."
Blues & Rhythm (Nov 91, p.21) - "...one of the most enjoyable releases for many years...an intimate collection and it is as if you were in her parlour at home. The songs are well chosen and the guitar playing is clear, confident and full of joy..." Etta Baker One-Dime Blues Songs | 1. | Never Let Your Deal Go Down | |

One-Dime Blues Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)  Relaxing, mellow folk guitar
This is a really nice collection of folk guitar picking. Refreshingly just instrumental.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Piedmont Blues
I heard about the guitarist from a cassette I checked out from the library. It had made referrence to Etta Baker living in Morganton,North Carolina,which is 18 miles from me. I was curious to know this person. I tried several times to contact her, no such luck. So I decided to contact her through her music. I found it very tasteful for finger picking styles. I hear this style allot in these parts, I have no idea if she ever taught, but I will soon learn to finger pick her style. I am normally a strummer, but I have been wanting to learn piedmont blues style of picking. I would recommend this recording to those who like the blues.
