Blind Boy Fuller was one of the most popular of the recorded Piedmont blues artists with rural African Americans along with Blind Blake, Josh White, and Buddy Moss. A massive talent, he recorded some 130 tracks in the relatively short span of 5 years before ill health ended his career.

"Weeping Willow" is played in the key of A. It is a beautiful blues with the unusual twist of going to a Dm and not D7 when the fourth is played. It has trademark Rev. Gary Davis licks and indeed the good Reverend mentored Fuller in his early years.

Fuller used the same arrangement a few years later for his "Ain't No Getting Along".
