Willie B. Thomas

b. 25 Might 1912, Lobdell, Mississippi, USA. Thomas was completely disabled by way of a back again damage he received in his early teenagers during his family members’s migration to Louisiana. He partnered the fiddler Adam ‘Butch’ Cage on kazoo for a decade before taking on the guitar, which he documented with Cage after their breakthrough in 1959. Thomas was uncommon in viewing no issue between his secular music and his actions being a road preacher. His electric guitar playing, though limited, was a perfect supplement to Cage’s fiddle, plus they produced an unmistakable, raucous vocal duo.
