Furry Lewis (Ruta 61)

from Ruta 61

La música de Furry Lewis ha tenido mucha influencia en otros artistas, pero a pesar de su importancia, Furry Lewis nunca se ganó la vida como bluesman, sino que lo hizo como limpiador de calles. Nacido en Greenwood, Mississippi en el año 1893 y muerto en 1981 en Memphis, Walter Lewis vivía en Memphis desde la niñez. Y ya de pequeño le dieron el apodo "Furry".
