… McTell’s lively sense of showmanship and his unusually varied repertoire both owed something to the demands of street singing and medicine show work. Of his actual life we know little beyond the elliptical reminiscences he left during his recording session for the Library of Congress (1940) and an Atlanta record dealer who collared him in 1956 when he was well past his peak as a musician.

McTell’s picking style invites comparison to his fellow Georgians, Peg Leg Howell and Barbecue Bob only in its eccentricity and the jagged rhythms it produces. Even in playing the ragtime standards that normally feature alternating bass techniques McTell uses unique, scattershot picking patterns. The interplay between his thumb and picking fingers is so free as to suggest the possibility that he did not anchor his pinkie to the guitar.
