| | Blind Lemon Jefferson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | According to Jefferson Airplane member, Jorma Kaukonen, the name of their band was invented by Steve Talbot as a parody of "Blind" Lemon Jefferson. | | | The rock band Blind Melon is named from derivative wordplay on Jefferson's name, Blind Lemon; however, the band is not specifically named for him. | | | Unlike many artists who were "discovered" and recorded in their normal venues, in December 1925 or January 1926, he was taken to Chicago, Illinois, to record his first tracks. |

| | A self-titled album was released by Columbia Records. | | | However, the Jefferson Starship albums of this era were only modestly successful, but the band remained a gold-selling (and thus commercially credible) act and a popular concert draw. | | | Jefferson Airplane was an American rock band from San Francisco, a pioneer of the LSD-influenced psychedelic rock movement. |

| | Jefferson received no formal education and instead traveled from town to town in the Wortham area, playing his guitar and singing songs, most of which were his own compositions. | | | Jefferson was discovered by a talent scout for Paramount Records while in Dallas and was taken to Chicago. | | | Jefferson is recognized as one of the earliest representatives of the "classic blues" field, considered to be one of the best folk blues singers of the 1920s, and said to have influenced such artists as Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith, and Bix Beiderbecker, and to have encouraged Sam "Lightnin'" Hopkins |

| | Lemon recorded with the Paramount label for four years and except for a brief stint recording for Okeh Records (he recorded "Matchbox Blues" and "The Black Snake Moan" for Okeh in 1927) he recorded exclusively with Paramount. | | | He was actually born blind and had to teach himself to play guitar and sing in order to support himself. | | | Before Blind Lemon, most of the blues musicians of that time relied on songs written by outsiders. |

| | Lemon's playing was accompanied by a high and lonesome voice that complemented his formidable songwriting skills. | | | Be aware that there will be hiss on any Blind Lemon recording, this music goes back to the 1920's afer all, a fact which makes these timeless melodies all the more astonishing. | | | Jefferson's strange and unconventional vocals controlled and dictated what he played on guitar. |

| | Blind Lemon was clearly a conflicted man. His wailing vocal, wiry guitar playing and lost man subtext are foundations of both blues and rock aesthetics. | | | If Robert Johnson sounds like he sold his soul to the Devil, Blind Lemon Jefferson sounds like he might actually be the Devil. | | | You may also be interested in the following albums: |

| | Blind Lemon Jefferson CD Review |
| | Jefferson was perhaps the first blues guitarist to use the instrument for fleet-fingered, single note solos of incredible dexterity and the proof resides here over 94 tracks, all remastered and sounding better than ever before. | | | While these recordings may never sound perfect, newer technology affords us a far better listening experience from JSP with Blind Lemon Jefferson than what is available on Document or any other competing label. | | | This masterful 4-CD set with its bargain pricetag will certainly be the way to go for those interested in hearing an early Texas guitar master, and one who influenced many of the greats that followed, including Lightnin' Hopkins, B.B. King, T-Bone Walker, Juke Boy Bonner, or countless others. |
