Rev. Edward Clayborn

Rev. Edward W. Clayborn (he’s often shown as simply Edward Clayborn, using the surname occasionally spelled Clayburn or Claeburn) billed himself as “your guitar Evangelist,” and even he was, performing some sort of blues gospel not really unlike the task from the better known Blind Willie Johnson. An excellent guitarist and glide player, Clayborn documented some 40 monitors for Vocalion Information between 1926 and 1930.
