List of Delta Blues Musicians - A

A

• Cecil Augusta – Born in 1920 recorded a single song for Alan Lomax in 1959.
• Mose Allison – Mose John Allison Jr. was born in 1927 in Tippo, Mississippi, a cotton town in the Mississippi delta. By the time Mose was in grade school he was already composing boogie woogie tunes on the piano. His father, a piano stride player himself, encouraged the young Mose in his playing but also taught him the meaning of "work on the farm." Mose plowed cotton with a mule and said once that he is probably one of the few living bluesmen who can honestly make that claim.
