Blind Boy Fuller — “I Don’t Care How Long”

From the Neven78rpm Archive: this upload features the reverse side of Vocalion 05273, “I Don’t Care How Long,” performed by Blind Boy Fuller, one of the most influential figures in East Coast Piedmont blues. Recorded in 1937, the track showcases Fuller’s trademark blend of syncopated guitar, steady harmonica, and direct, conversational vocals — a style that helped define the sound of the Carolinas and shaped generations of acoustic blues musicians. Issued by the Brunswick Record Corporation on the Vocalion label, this performance highlights Fuller’s ability to merge ragtime‑inflected guitar runs with emotional storytelling. His recordings became foundational for later artists such as Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry, and remain essential listening for collectors of pre‑war blues. Transferred from an original 78rpm disc and restored for historical clarity while preserving the authentic surface character of the shellac.
