August 24. Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup was born in Forest, Mississippi, on this date in 1905. He was living in a packing crate in Chicago when he was signed to the Bluebird label in the late 40s. He might not be very well-known today if he hadn't been a particular favorite of a certain hillbilly cat from Memphis who recorded his "That's All Right Mama," "My Baby Left Me," and "So Glad You're Mine."

August 22. Today is the anniversary of the birth of John Lee Ho**er. Both the year and the place are uncertain, but it was likely in 1912 in Tallahatchie Country, Mississippi. In 1922 John Lee's mother married a bluesman named William Moore. Moore gave John Lee his first guitar and taught him to play in his droning, one-chord style. John Lee was working as a janitor in a Detroit steel mill when he cut his first record in 1948. "Boogie Chillen'" hit #1 on the R&B charts that year. You know the rest.
"It don't take me no three days to record no album." - John Lee Ho**er
