WOW...that spun my head around! Andy to Andre LOL. A very interesting piece...thank you. If I was going to go that far back, I’d probably pick Blind Lemon Jefferson! I would tend more toward John Mayall for R&B...

Although "Bacon Fat," a hit in the early weeks of 1957, sounds like it came straight out of the rural South, it was actually waxed in Detroit at Fortune Records, Jack and Devora Brown's diskery that put out a lot of classic R & B.

By the way, Parchman Farm, a state prison in Mississippi, is still in business.
