Description

Encyclopedia article about Precious Bryant. A charismatic country blues singer and fingerstyle guitarist of the Piedmont tradition, Precious Bryant stands out among Georgia's great blueswomen, including Gertrude "Ma" Rainey and Ida Cox. With just a few commercially released recordings to her credit, Bryant has attracted much attention in recent years and remains one of Georgia's few living links to its rich musical roots.
