Edward Anthony (1890 – 1934) was an American country blues and jazz musician. He played the violin. [1]
His style of playing, primarily accompanying Peg Leg Howell, [1] offered the rarity of black string band music, which disappeared with the advent of the recording of blues guitarists. [2] Anthony worked with Howell throughout the 1920s and early 1930s. [1] [3] He also recorded "Georgia Crawl" with Henry Williams, a re-working of the earlier Spencer Williams penned song " Georgia Grind", [4] as well as "Lonesome Blues" (1928). [5]
Anthony died in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, in 1934. [4]
