Oscar Woods - Oscar "Buddy" Woods: The Lone Wolf 1930-1938 (1938)

"Lone Wolf Blues" by Oscar Woods (The Lone Wolf)


Early in his music career, Jimmie Davis played Blues tunes and often collaborated with or was accompanied by black musicians.  One such collaborator was guitarist Oscar Woods — sometimes known as Buddy Woods.  His recording career was inconsistent with only a handful of session work, a few singles and nary an album.  Document Records put out compilation album of his work Oscar "Buddy" Woods: The Lone Wolf 1930-1938.

Note: As usual, the compilation album is marked in the title, not by year of release, but by year of the last recording on said album.

Here is the discography for Oscar Woods:
