About Robert Wilkins
Mississippi-born blues singer/guitarist Robert Wilkins made his name in 1920s Memphis, where he played jug-band music and country blues, but it was with the latter that he really made his name, with such songs as “Rolling Stone” (not to be confused with the later Muddy Waters tune) and “That's No Way To Get Along,” which he reworked as “Prodigal Son” when he became a bible-toting gospel singer. Like many artists of his vintage, Wilkins was rediscovered in the '60s and began performing again. His work became a major influence on '60s rockers like the Rolling Stones, who covered “Prodigal Son” on their classic BEGGARS BANQUET album.
