Kate McTell (born Ruthy Kate Williams; August 22, 1911 – October 3, 1991) was an American blues musician and nurse from Jefferson County, Georgia. She is known primarily as the former wife of the blues musician Blind Willie McTell, whom she accompanied vocally on several recordings. She might have also recorded under the pseudonym Ruby Glaze in Atlanta in February 1932, though that has been much discussed and disputed.
