Red Nigger - Cleo Page

Born May 25, 1928 in Shamrock, LA Died February 19, 1979 in California Very much one of the mystery men of the blues, this singer/guitarist caused a minor stir in the 70s with his powerful, raw blues records which were issued on small Los Angeles labels including Goodie Train and Las Vegas. In 1979 JSP Records released enough material for an album which was described by Jim DeKoster in Living Blues as ‘one of the most striking blues albums of the past year’, but Page remains elusive. His music is tough, no-nonsense, mostly original blues, with sometimes startling lyrics; although JSP also issued a more contemporary-sounding risqué single entitled ‘Hamburger-I Love To Eat It’, which was not on the album.
