Lonesome Jimmy Blues - Jack (John) Erby

Jack Erby was born in 1902 in Fort Worth, Texas. He was an accomplished pianist, and recorded sessions with Lonnie Johnson, Victoria Spivey and with his wife Monette Moore. In 1926 he recorded four sides as a soloist. Two were issued under the name Jack Erby and the other two as John Erby. This was one of the songs issued under the name John. Erby wasn't exactly a three chord kind of guy, his piano playing incorporated a lot of jazz inflections. Some of his other recordings could barely be considered as blues. Erby disappeared from the recording scene sometime in the early 30's. If you like what I’m doing, Like ---Bman’s Blues Report--- Facebook Page!
