Lemon Henry "Blind Lemon" Jefferson

For More Than Twenty Years, Blind Lemon Jefferson Was A Familiar Sight On The Streets Of Dallas, Playing A Dense, Free-Form Style That Showed Little Regard For Regular Time And Structure. Born In Galveston In 1893, Blind Lemon Roamed Far And Wide As A "Wandering Songster', Many Of Those Years With Lead Belly. Lemon Had A Short Recording Career Beginning In 1925.
