Dark Road Blues - Willie Lofton

Very little is known about the Mississippi blues artist Willie Lofton. He had four recording sessions in Chicago in 1934-1935. He cut six songs for Decca Records as Poor Boy Lofton. His last two recordings were for Bluebird, one of them "Beer Garden Blues" was the only song where he was backed by a group with Black Bob on piano and unknown musicians playing stand-up bass and kazoo. The other side of the record "Dark Road Blues" was based on an earlier Tommy Johnson number "Big Road Blues". It would be Lofton's final recordings. It is believed that he died in Jackson, c. 1962.
