The Blues Foundation Podcast - Season 1: Blues Hall of Fame
This episode we learn about the electrified marvel that was Thibeaux Walker, or "T-Bone," as he came to be known around the world. Walker was the original guitar hero of the blues, inspiring B.B. King, Chuck Berry, and Jimi Hendrix to pick up the guitar. He invented the modern guitar solo. As a pioneer of jump blues, and the man that introduced electricity to that genre, he innovated a sound that gave rise to the development of rock'n'roll.
T-Bone Walker inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1980.
