Singer of Blues
A.k.a. Ruby Glaze

Kate McTell (born Ruthy Kate Williams on August 22, 1911 in Savannah, Georgia, United States, died Kate Seabrooks, October 3, 1991 in Georgia), was an American blues musician and nurse from Jefferson County, Georgia. She is known primarily as the former wife of fellow blues musician, Blind Willie McTell, whom she accompanied vocally on several recordings. She sometimes appeared as Ruby Glaze, although there is some uncertainty as to whether McTell and Glaze were the same person, despite the fact that McTell herself claimed to be Glaze.
