Andrew "Jr. Boy" Jones is one of a long line of prominent guitarists from the Dallas/Ft. Worth area of Texas. In a line of players that has included Blind Lemon Jefferson, T-Bone Walker, Freddie King and the Vaughan Brothers, Jr. Boy Jones is every bit the equal of these fine guitarists. Having started his career at the tender age of 16 with none other than the great Freddie King, Jones has also spent...

Over the course of his career, Bob Dylan has never really strayed from the folk-blues sound on which he originally leaned. His first album was filled with renditions of songs by blues legends like Blind Lemon Jefferson and Blind Willie Johnson. A majority of the songs that Dylan has written since his debut are easily adapted for an acoustic guitar around a blues motif. During the past decade, Dylan...

Early Delta musicians like Charlie Patton and Son House influenced Howlin’ Wolf and Muddy Waters, respectively, who themselves started in the Delta and [...]
"If you don't want my peaches, don't shake my tree." That's a line from one of the versions of Blind Lemon Jefferson's perfect song from 1927 - "Matchbox Blues." I don't think Albert King used those lines in this version with Stevie Ray, though. Our peaches up here in Yankeeland begin to ripen right about now. I get a good crop from this tree every other year, but this is the second great year in a...

He was born on a Terry Mississippi plantation in 1896, one of a large family. He learnt to play the guitar from an older brother. Around 1911, he left home, and soon fell with CHARLEY PATTON and WILLIE BROWN, from whom he is assumed to have learned musical and stage technique....
B.B. King is releasing a new album, his 24th, on August 26th, featuring the songs that influenced him back in the 1950s. It is titled 'One Kind Favor', a reference to a Blind Lemon Jefferson song that Widespread Panic has covered since 1997. The track does not appear on the album though. Fleetwood Mac is set to tour in early 2009 for the first time since 2004. Despite the rumors started by
