Louis Washington

African-American singer and guitarist, who recorded for ARC in 1934. A total of 22 titles were recorded, eight of which are unissued. "It seems very likely that Tallahassee Tight is a pseudonym for Louis Washington. All titles listed below as by the latter are spiritual and were issued, if at all, on Vocalion. The Tallahassie Tight titles are secular and were issued, if at all, on Banner, Conqueror, Domino, Melotone, Oriole, Perfect, and Rome. This hypothesis is borne out by listening to and comparing the records themselves." (Blues and gospel records 1890-1943 (1997), p. 991)
