Big Jack Johnson was born in Clarksdale, Mississippi, in 1940. Encouraged by his musician-father, he became a proficient guitarist at an early age. Lacking nothing in terms of pure talent, his vocal and instrumental skills have become world-class -- he is the blues as much as any artist that has ever played. In fact, "Big Jack" has garnered some prestigious awards, recorded with diverse groups and for various labels, and rocked the stages of clubs and festivals the world over.
