From notes to Document DOCD 5157: "Essentially nothing is known about "Big Road" Webster Taylor, making his recorded legacy, as well as his race, rather perplexing. Originally credited "The Mississippi Mule Skinner", this yodeller's two titles were intended for Vocalion's 5000 hillbilly series. Paul Oliver attributes his odd vocal style to the influence of Jimmie Rodgers, but maintains that Taylor was black."
Tony Russell 2004, p. 893: "Despite his listing in B&GR, this artist seems definitvely to have been white."
