T_Bone walker...


 it wasn’t worthy of American examination either.

Walker wasn’t a Chicago blues man. He was a Texan who, by the age of twenty five, was performing in the blues Mecca of Los Angeles. Once you start talking about Texas and West Coast blues the entire Chicago blues narrative finds its rightful place and becomes part of a much larger historical tableau. It becomes just part of a magnificent and of course more complicated and compelling story.” - David Mac (Blues Junction Productions)
Aaron Thibeaux "T-Bone" Walker
(May 28, 1910 – March 16, 1975)
