John Henry Barbee - Blues Masters Vol 3
Review by Alan Jackson
Blues Masters by John Henry Barbee is a classic blues album that showcases the musician's raw talent and emotive vocals. The album features a mix of original tracks and covers, all of which are performed with Barbee's signature style and skill.
Listeners will be drawn in by the gritty, soulful sound of Barbee's guitar, which is perfectly complemented by his deep, rich vocals. The album's standout tracks include "Six Weeks Old Blues," "I Ain't Gonna Pick No More Cotton," and "I'm Gonna Keep My Lamp Trimmed and Burning," all of which demonstrate Barbee's ability to convey deep emotion through his music.

About John Henry Barbee
American blues singer and guitarist, born November 14, 1905 in Henning, Tennessee, November 3, 1964 in Chicago, Illinois (heart attack).
Barbee recorded four titles for Vocalion in 1938, after which he worked mainly outside of music until making a comeback in the early 1960s, touring with the American Folk Blues Festival in 1964, recording an LP for Storyville in Copenhagen during the tour. Barbee himself claimed that John Henry Barbee was a pseudonym, and that his real name was William George Tucker. However, recent research has shown that John Henry Barbee actually was his real name! Why he claimed otherwise is unclear.
Worked with John Lee Williamson, Sunnyland Slim, Moody Jones and others.
