Experience Blues - Ruth Willis

Ruth (Mary) Willis a/k/a Ruth Day. "Rough Alley Blues" and "Experience Blues" recorded in Atlanta on Oct 23, 1931. From Drew Kent's liner notes for The Classic Years: 1927–1940 (JSP Records):

Ruth Willis is usually described as a street singer. She is one of those mysterious figures who drift into early recordings, merge briefly into focus and then disappear. She recorded separately with Curley Weaver and another Atlanta blues stalwart, Buddy Moss, but no recordings after 1935 can be traced. On the strength of these four sides [the two mentioned above plus "Painful Blues" and "Low Down Blues," the latter with both McTell and Weaver] she had a warm voice that McTell accompany with careful restraint and sensitivity.
