Jackson, Melvin "lil Son"
Jackson, Melvin "lil Son"
Texan bluesman Melvin "Lil Son" Jackson was a contemporary of Lightnin Hopkins who originally recorded for the Gold Star
and Imperial labels in the 40s and 50s. A car accident in the mid-50s led to Jackson giving up the music career and
returning to work as a mechanic. Arhoolies Chris Strachwitz pulled him out of retirement in 1960, convincing him to
record this classic and rare Texas blues LP. Reissued in all its original glory.
