Blind Lemon Jefferson: Next Steps

Blind Lemon Jefferson: Next Steps

Blind Lemon Jefferson is legendary for the blend of deep blues and gospel influences in his 1920s Texas classics. But a deeper dive reveals more, like the sprightly stomp of the good-time country-inflected "Hot Dogs," with its offhand spoken lyrics, or the straight-up spiritual "I Want to Be Like Jesus in My Heart," where the sightless troubadour serves up the gospel with nary a trace of the blues.
