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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=wirz.de )〕 According to Eugene Chadbourne, Paramount Records promoted him as having "come down from the Carolinas"; but it is widely believed that he actually originated from Birmingham, AL, both because he refers to that area in his lyrics and because that was apparently where the talent scouts found him. After his recordings of 1926, no further documentation of him exists. He recorded as one of the first country bluesmen in 1926, after being discovered performing on the streets of Birmingham, for the Paramount and Vocalion labels, on the latter under the name of Sam Butler, which has become his most common name for identification.〔 His 78 rpm records are highly sought by collectors and have been numerously re-released on LP and CD compilation albums. Though it is widely circulated that Jackson was active in Birmingham, he was typically promoted as originating from North Carolina. His technique is particularly distinctive for his upbeat tempo, varied melodic lines, and impromptu instrumentals. His recordings have been published in both notation and tablature forms, which has enabled contemporary detailed study of his style and technique.〔 == Recordings == ; As Bo Weavil Jackson, in Chicago, IL 〔 * "You Can't Keep No Brown" / "Pistol Blues" Paramount 12389 * "When the Saints Come Marching Home" / "I'm on My Way to the Kingdom Land" Paramount 12390 * "Why Do You Moan" / "Some Scream High Yellow" Paramount 12423 ; As Sam Butler, September 30, 1926 in New York City, NY 〔 * "You Can't Keep No Brown" / "Devil and My Brown Blues" Vocalion 1055 (unreleased) * "Heaven Is My View" / "Christians Fight On (Your Time Ain't Long)" Vocalion 1056 * "Poor Boy Blues" / "Jefferson County Blues" Vocalion 1057 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bo Weavil Jackson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
