Heroes of the Blues T-shirt - Clifford Gibson

Celebrating those early great Men and Women who where among the first to record the Blues!
Clifford Gibson
1901-1963

Born in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1901, Clifford Gibson cut his musical teeth in St. Louis, Missouri. He recorded twenty-four sides for two different labels between 1929 and 1931. One of the first purely urban performers whose playing had no pronounced rural influences, Gibson's single-string, vibrato-laden approach resembled that of the highly sophisticated jazz blues guitarist Lonnie Johnson, but placed more emphasis on improvisation. Gibson died in 1963.

Heroes of the Blues William Moore

Celebrating the great early Men and Women who where among the first to record the Blues!

William Moore

 1894-1955

A barber by trade, William Moore was born in Georgia around 1894 and spent most of his life in Tappahannac, Virginia. His eight extant sides, recorded at a single Paramount session in 1928, stamp him as one of the few instrumentally oriented performers of the era. Moore's upbeat music may echo the happy-go-lucky ragtime dances popular before the heyday of the blues; "Ragtime Millionaire" is probably his best known song. He died in 1955.
