Description
Great blues 78 rpm by ROBERT LOCKWOOD, JR on Mercury 8260 in VG++ (E+) condition. Plays excellent.
Robert Lockwood was born in Turkey Scratch, Arkansas, near Helena, Arkansas. He started playing the organ in his father's church at the age of 8. The famous bluesman Robert Johnson lived with Lockwood's mother for 10 years off and on after his parents' divorce. Lockwood learned from Johnson not only how to play guitar, but timing and stage presence as well. Because of his personal and professional association with the music of Robert Johnson, he became known as "Robert Junior" Lockwood, a nickname by which he was known among fellow musicians for the rest of his life, although he later frequently professed his dislike for this appellation.
The songs are "DUST MY BROOM" and "I'M GONNA DIG MYSELF A HOLE."
