Bluesman Dixon Hunt and wife at home in Dranesville, Ga. Late 1960's. I also recorded some songs by him for record albums, some of which has been re-released on Fat Possum Records, in their George Mitchell Collection.

From "Southern Spaces":

"According to Bruce Bastin, the parochial nature of Hunt's performing territory--little more than sixty miles end to end--was typical of Southeast blues musicians. Dixon Hunt taught Cliff Scott to play." _Steve Bransford

The great blues singer Joe Callicott, who I photographed and recorded in Nesbit, Mississippi, in 1967.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"Joe Callicott, better known as Mississippi Joe Callicott (October 10, 1900 – 1969[1][latter date is unconfirmed]), was an American blues singer and guitarist.
Callicott was born in Nesbit, Mississippi. His "Love Me Baby Blues" has been covered by various artists, e.g. (under the title of "France Chance" by Ry Cooder. Arhoolie Records recorded Callicott commercially in the mid-1960's. Some of his 1967 recordings (recorded by the music historian, George Mitchell) were re-released in 2003, on the Fat Possum record label. His best known recordings are "Great Long Ways From Home"; and "Hoist Your Window and Let Your Curtain Down."
He served as a mentor to the guitarist Kenny Brown when Brown was ten years old."
