Very little is known about Robert Petway. He recorded only sixteen songs between 1941-1942 and there is only one photo available of him. But this song, "Catfish Blues" is an important part of blues history ! For example Muddy Water based his "Rollin' Stone" hit on this recording and you can hear it. I hope owners of the rights want to see this as an honor to this artist who plays with just wonderful blues-feeling! And same goes to these random photos of other blues artists, which I have found from net. My hope is that everyone can just listen to this fine musician. Enjoy! It's so nice, that you can still buy these recordings on CD, mine is an old vinyl album!
