Blind Lemon Jefferson
Pre-War blues singer and guitarist whose rough vocals and fleet guitar playing produced an archetypal form of the blues.
Jefferson's first recordings were religious songs made under the name "Reverend L.J. Bates."
The flamenco playing style of Mexican workers in Texas influenced Jefferson's own playing style.
Jefferson's music helped shape blues. T-Bone Walker and Leadbelly are among the many blues giants influenced by Jefferson.
Many of Jefferson's original songs, such as "Matchbox Blues" and "Black Snake Moan," have become standards.
