About Me

Let me tell you what: I put Robert Johnson to shame. If my old label Paramount had been worth two shits they would not have sold my masters for scrap, and I would be your God.But I'm not hear to hate on anybody. I am a 3-time Grammy winner; I put on legendary shows; I can have any woman I want even though I only go 5'8".I started playing guitar when I was kid, I am cousins with the Chatmons so I learned a lot from them. In my later years I started to run with my boy Son House; we played juke joints and rent parties all the way up the Mississippi and went to Wisconsin where I laid down the recordings for which I am now known.If you have any doubt as to how amazing I am, ask Howling Wolf. He'll tell you.
