CURLEY WEAVER
Atlanta in the 20s had a thriving Blues scene and Curley and his boyhood friend Barbecue Bob Hicks, playing their country Blues guitars, were at the forefront. With Eddie Mapp on harmonica, they played many parties and bar gigs, as well as playing on streetcorners. The loose collective known as The Georgia Cotton Pickers included these three players, along with Buddy Moss on harp and guitarists Blind Willie McTell, Peg-Leg Howell and Barbecue Bob’s brother, Charlie Hicks, making up scratch-bands to play parties and fish-fries. Curley had a fine, rhythmic guitar style and a strong voice that would often spiral off into falsetto.
