Born blind in 1893, Blind Lemon is now considered by some to be the first star of the Blues (or the Father of Texas Blues).
Rumour has it that he taught the great T-Bone Walker how to play in exchange for T-Bone being his guide. Being a creative in advertising and having always possessed an inquisitive mind, when I spotted the album "Black Snake Moan" for a fiver, I thought it was worth a punt. And so it proved.
