Bo Weavil Jackson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bo Weavil Jackson (dates and places of birth and death unknown, real name said to be James Butler), was an African American blues singer and guitarist. Some sources claim he was born in Birmingham, Alabama.[1]
He recorded as one of the first country bluesmen in 1926 for the Paramount and Vocalion labels, on the latter under the name of Sam Butler.[1] His 78 rpm records are highly sought by collectors and have been numerously re-released on LP and CD compilation albums.
His recordings have been published in both notation and tablature forms, which has enabled contemporary detailed study of his style and technique.[1]
