Little Hat Jones

It probably comes as no surprise that I love those country blues. I love listening to Sleepy John Estes, Mississippi John Hurt, and Lightnin' Hopkins. Recently I came across the work of a largely-unknown country bluesman from up around Texarkana. They called him Little Hat Jones, and he cut some sides for OKeh Records back in 1929 and 1930. Here is "Bye Bye Baby Blues" by Little Hat Jones. I can not imagine how glorious this must sound on an old OKeh 78.

  

Here is Little Hat Jones' biography.
