One of Oscar Woods's acolytes was the young BK Turner, or Black Ace, who like Woods (The Lone Wolf) earned his nickname from his most famous song. Black Ace recorded even fewer records than Woods but had the benefit of being rediscovered in the early sixties when he recorded his only album BK Turner and His Steel Guitar for Arhoolie Records.
Here is the discography for Black Ace:
Black Ace (1937 single)
You Gonna Need My Help Some Day (1937 single)
Christmas Time Blues (Beggin' Santa Claus) (1937 single)

I'm the Boss Card in Your Hand (compilation album)
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.
