Editorial Reviews
Jesse Fuller, “The Lone Cat” (1896 – 1976) was one of the great blues troubadours. A remarkably expressive singer and fine 12-string guitarist, Fuller developed his unique one-man-band style around his fotdella (foot-operated bass) and harmonica/kazoo-rig. 'Move On Down The Line' collects his earliest recordings, including the original version of his classic San Francisco Bay Blues, together with a splendid session taped in London in 1965 for Topic Records. One track – John Henry – has been unavailable since the early 1960s. The CD package includes extensive sleevenotes by Joe Boyd and Val Wilmer and a selection of very rare photographs by Val Wilmer.

Reseña editorial
Jesse Fuller, "The Lone Cat" (1896 - 1976) fue uno de los grandes trovadores del blues. Fuller, un cantante extraordinariamente expresivo y un excelente guitarrista de 12 cuerdas, desarrolló su estilo único de one-man-band en torno a su fotdella (bajo accionado con el pie) y su armónica/kazoo-rig. Move On Down The Line" recoge sus primeras grabaciones, incluida la versión original de su clásico San Francisco Bay Blues, junto con una espléndida sesión grabada en Londres en 1965 para Topic Records. Un tema, John Henry, no estaba disponible desde principios de los años sesenta. El CD incluye extensas notas de Joe Boyd y Val Wilmer y una selección de fotografías muy poco comunes de Val Wilmer.
