This week on 12th Street Jump we celebrate the birthday of T-Bone Walker with our special guest Bill Dye.
Aaron Thibeaux "T-Bone" Walker (May 28, 1910 – March 16, 1975) was a critically acclaimed American blues guitarist, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, who was one of the most influential pioneers and innovators of the jump blues and electric blues sound.[1] He is the first musician recorded playing blues with the electric guitar.[2] In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked him at #47 on their list of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".[3]
