content: A letter enclosed with the tape to Moe Asch, "Dear Mr. Asch. This tape is a representative sampling of the blues singing and guitar playing of Chuck Kling, currently of 1168 E. 54th Place, Chicago, IL. Chuck, while highly individual, is in the tradition of of the more complex blues singers like Blind Lemon, Scrapper Blackwell, Lonnie Johnson, Blind Boy Fuller, and so on. In any case, the tape speaks for itself. I was coming east and brought the tape in for Chuck, who anxiously awaits your opinion. - Pete Stein, 31 W. 11th St. NYC, NY" Date unknown and apparently unreleased by Asch, tape is a good example of "country blues" style and lyrics lingering in the Chicago area, and includes a rare rendition of "219 Train" blues.
