Short intro

After proclaiming Charlie Patton Founder, and eventually King of the Delta Blues, the experts at Yazoo declared Blind Lemon Jefferson King of the Country Blues. A weighty claim considering their own catalog of early American acoustic blues would eventually include titles by Skip James, Blind Willie Johnson, and Mississippi John Hurt as well as the exceptional Patton sets. You can hear the Texas blues template falling into place as his keening tenor and darting guitar licks wrap around Matchbox Blues. The doomy, downright scary See That My Grave Is Kept Clean remains infinitely more haunting than the countless blues and rock cover versions it inspired. And Jefferson's fearless phrasing on Corrina Blues suggests that this iconic bluesman could have been a jazz player if he so desired.

Released: Jan 1985. Blind Lemon Jefferson is one of the most unique and talented musical artists in our country's history. This is evidenced by the fact that virtually every blues musician after 1930 cites him as an influence or inspiration, but none of them sound remotely like him. Thankfully, because many of Jefferson's recordings are still intact and in some degree of listenability, we can judge for ourselves. While the audio quality of many of his recordings are criminally decrepit, his personality and musicianship manage to cut through and reveal a confident and highly skilled artist and performer.
