Mamie Smith recorded "Crazy Blues" in 1920, this is considered to be the first blues on records. Soon after here came Ma Rainey. Bessie Smith, Ida Cox, Alberta Hunter a whole flock of females singing them blues.
So tell me who were the first male blues cat's to record, well?
Did you miss the part about having magazines that keep me current as does all the blues forums I visit.

I'm disappointed that you think the blues are dead. Why are you asking questions about a subject you obviously care nothing about outside of facts and figures?
Just as I suspected you don't know a damn thing do you?
Pay attention rookie.
In 1924 Ed Andrews Georgia, Papa Charley Jackson Louisiana and Daddy Stovepipe Alabama all became to first guys to put them blues on a record. Kentuckian Sylvester Weaver played some bango for one of the ladies in 1923, so he doesn't count.
You don't appear to understand...............read magazines out right now, post on forums talking right now today........ok rookie, now beat it know nothing.
Watch this loser crawl back in, sheesh~~~~ I guarantee it.
Dude, you don't slither back in here, where is your self respect, sheesh~~~
That was too damn easy, poor kid.
Speaking of Ed Andrews
Virtually nothing is known of Andrews' life. After the commercial success of some of the first female "classic blues" singers such as Mamie Smith, Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith in the early 1920s, the Okeh record company made field trips to the southern states to discover unrecorded musicians. In Atlanta, Georgia, they discovered and recorded Andrews in April 1924. He recorded two tracks, "Barrel House Blues" and "Time Ain't Gonna Make Me Stay", which were issued as Okeh Records (OK 8137). They were the first commercially released recordings of a male country blues singer.[1] The record company's advertisement stated: "Right where the blues songs were born is where Ed. Andrews was singing ‘em and playing ‘em when the special OKeh Recording Expedition discovered him. Why, man alive, he was just scattering happiness all around, wherever he appeared."[2]
After his one record..............poof~~~~
Daddy Stovepipe recorded a little and Papa Charley Jackson a banjo player had a nice career.
Why do people who obviously don't know a topic try to act like they do?
When the CD in the video has.....Charlie Patton........
So why are playing this when we can all see you don't know this stuff at all. well?
See that list above I can that for Texas, Georgia, Memphis, St.Louis, Piedmont. what can you do, yep.........................nothing as you have shown us.
