It seems like a good day for some classic blues. Normally, I only listen to this stuff when I'm baking, but today I will make an exception.   1

Time for a Texas #blues run...I went through some Chicago blues recently and have been wanting to to a blues tour...I was going to do Delta blues next since that's the blues I loved first in high school butthe Texas blues is my favorite with the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughn, ZZ Top and many more. "Blind" Lemon Jefferson (born Lemon Henry Jefferson; September 24, 1893 – December 19, 1929) was an American blues singer and guitarist from Texas. He was one of the most popular blues singers of the 1920s, and has been titled "Father of the Texas Blues". Jefferson's performances were distinctive as a result of his high-pitched voice and originality on the guitar. Although his recordings sold well, he was not so influential on some younger blues singers of his generation, who could not imitate him as they could other commercially successful artists. Later blues and rock and roll musicians did attempt to imitate both his songs and his musical style   7
