Bukka White
Bukka White was a skilled and lively exemplar of traditional Mississippi Delta
blues. His songs about the tribulations of life reflected his upbringing in the
rural Deep South of America, his father's work on the railroad, and the three
years he spent in a State penitentiary following a shooting incident. The
American folk revival in the 1960s brought him acclaim, especially when Bob
Dylan recorded his song 'Fixin' to Die Blues'. His own version won entry to the
Grammy Awards Hall of Fame in 2012.
White's father, John White, who played several instruments, bought him a guitar ...
