Clifford Gibson – guitar, vocals

Louisville-born and St. Louis-based blues guitar master Clifford Gibson left a small but potent legacy of fine recordings which were originally cut in 1929 and 1931 for the QRS and Victor labels. His early works began to surface on LP reissue collections featuring multiple artists in 1968, five years after his demise and a full eight years following the release of four titles on Bobbin 45 rpm singles whereby he enjoyed a brief comeback as Clifford "Grandpappy" Gibson. Yazoo's Beat You Doing It, the first and only LP devoted exclusively to Gibson, appeared in 1972. It contains 14 of the 18 recordings from 1929 known to have been released under Gibson's name. Those who cannot locate the LP or desire an even better selection of Gibson's work on CD are advised to seek out Document's Complete Recorded Works (1991) or P-Vine's Tired of Being Mistreated (2002). ---arwulf arwulf, Rovi

Though not a particularly great singer, Clifford "Grandpappy" Gibson was an excellent guitarist, among the finest pure players in country blues. Gibson moved from Kentucky to St. Lous in the '20s, where he lived the remainder of his life. He frequently played St. Louis clubs during the '20s and '30s, and began recording for QRS and Victor in 1929. Greatly influenced by Lonnie Johnson, Gibson also accompanied Jimmie Rodgers on a Victor single in 1931, then spent parts of the next three decades playing in the streets around St. Louis. Gibson resurfaced on recordings in 1960 with a Bobbin date, and worked another three years in St. Louis' Gaslight Square before his death in '63. ---Ron Wynn, Rovi
