Never heard of that cat. Must be from the 40's or 50's.

I don't know when he started, but I first heard him around 1958, sitting in my '55 Chevy, drinking beer and listening to Randy's Record Mart and WOWO in Ft. Wayne, Indiana.

He was one of the artists like Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Jimmy Reed and other original blues greats played regularly on those stations.

John Lee Hooker was another from that period:

Also, Muddy Waters was around the same time:

It was the era of Mississippi/Louisiana swamp blues and was a huge influence on later blues musicians.
