Big Bill Broonzy’s recording career spanned the 1920s until his death in 1958. His repertoire was well recorded, from solo to duets to ensemble playing. He recorded for almost every Race label of the 1920s-1940s. He was rediscovered just as the “folk revival” was beginning in the mid-1950s and made a series of exciting albums for Folkways Records as well as recording various albums during European tours. This, of course in combination with his qualities as a guitar player, made him very influential on guitar players. He was a master of ragtime and country blues guitar. His playing was highlighted by a strong pulsating bass and melodic lead lines. It is a very powerful and challenging guitar style.
In terms of his musical skill, the sheer size of his repertoire, the length and variety of his career and his influence on contemporaries and musicians who would follow, Big Bill Broonzy is among a select few of the most important figures in recorded blues history. Among his hundreds of titles are standards like "All by Myself" and "Key to the Highway." In this country he was instrumental in the growth of the Chicago Blues sound, and his travels abroad rank him as one of the leading blues ambassadors.
