Hubert Sumlin

MY GUITAR AND ME

Evidence    1994

Notes: Hubert Sumlin was born on November 16, 1931 in Greenwood, Mississippi, one of 13 kids in a closeknit sharecropping family.  He began to develop his musical by plunking on a string of baling wire nailed to the wall by his older brother.  Around age 11, Sumlin's mother bought him a guitar.  He subsequently played in the Baptist church and teamed up with another local boy who played the harmonica, James Cotton.  As teens, Cotton and Sumlin worked local fish frys and local spots.  Both also later worked at various times with Howlin' Wolf and were ultimately reunited in Chicago as members of Muddy Waters' Band.

But when you talk about Muscle Shoals, Parchman Farm, Jimmie Vaughan, Mose Allison and Rudy Van Gelder in one post, some us are going to notice ;)

yep, those in receive mode.
