"Blind Joe" Reynolds was a singer-songwriter thought to have been born in Tallulah, Louisiana in 1904, although his death certificate states his birthplace as Arkansas in 1900. Reynolds was blinded by a shotgun blast to the face in Louisiana in the mid-late 1920s, which resulted in the physical loss of his eyes. Despite this handicap, "Blind Joe" became known for his distinctive bottleneck style as well as his reported accuracy with a pistol, with which it is said he could judge the position of a target by sound alone. Reynolds' "Ninety Nine Blues"/"Cold Woman Blues" 78rpm recording for Paramount was known as the "Holy Grail" of blues records among collectors due to it rarity. In fact, it was thought to be lost until 2000 when a copy, which had been purchased in 1976 at a flea market for one dollar, surfaced. It subsequently sold privately for $5,500. It remains the only known copy in existence.
