In 1935, Burlington record store manager and talent scout James Baxter Long secured Fulton Allen a recording session with the American Recording Company (ARC). Allen, Gary Davis and George Washington went to New York City to record and they each did solo recordings as well as helping out on each others recordings To promote the material, Long decided to rename Allen as "Blind Boy Fuller" and also named George Washington as "Bull City Red."
Over the next five years Blind Boy Fuller made over 120 sides, and his recordings appeared on several labels. "Baby Quit Your Low Down Ways" was recorded in 1939. It is played in the key of G and has all his trademark blues licks in G. The arrangement taught in this lesson features Fuller's playing note for note.
