77 T-Bone Walker (1910-1975) “Call It Stormy Monday” 1947

Walker helped Blind Lemon Jefferson, who was a family friend, navigate the streets of Dallas in the early 1920’s. His influential electric guitar style was partly “derived from Jefferson’s acoustic picking” (The New Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll). Listed on the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress.
