Henry "Ragtime Texas" Thomas

Blues Spotlight: Country Blues Singer And Itinerant Songster Henry Thomas Enjoyed A Brief Recording Career In The Late 1920's. Born In 1874 Texas, Thomas Recorded Twenty-Four Sides For The Vocalian Label, And By 1929 His Life, Career And Whereabouts Remain Unknown. Often Referred To As Ragtime Texas, Thomas' Legacy Has Been Sustained By His Songs, Revived By Musicians Beginning In The Folk Music Revival Of The Early 1960's. His Highly-Influential Playing Style Is An Early Example Of What Later Became Known As Texas Blues Guitar. Charley Crockett Dedicated His Album "Lonesome As a Shadow" To Thomas. Henry Thomas Passed On In 1930.
