Blind Lemon Jefferson

For More Than Twenty Years, Blind Lemon Jefferson Played His Guitar With A Tin Cup Around His Neck On The Streets Of Dallas. His Free-Form Style Showed Little Regard For Regular Time And Structure, Allowing His Direct And Expressive Songs To Shine Through. Lemon Roamed Throughout The South And The Midwest As A 'Wandering Songster', A Number Of Years With Traveling Companion 'Lead Belly', Ending In 1918 When Ledbetter Was Given Thirty Years In The Penitentiary. Blind Lemon Recorded Niney-Plus Sides Beginning In 1925; Four Years Later He Was Gone At The Age Of 32. The Legacy Of The Songs Handed Down Through The Years, In Their Original Form Or Adapted By Other Players, Are A Rich Inheritance.
