Career

Born Mattie Doyle in Tchula, Mississippi, she recorded two songs for the Vocalion Records label in February 1930.[2] Her song "Down The Big Road Blues" was a variant of Tommy Johnson's "Big Road Blues".[3] She was unusual for a female performer of the time, in that she played guitar accompaniment and sang topical songs.[1] Nothing is known of her life after the recordings.[4]

Two of Delaney's songs were featured on the Mississippi Girls (1928-1931) compilation album, issued in September 1991.[5]
