About the artist

Archie Edwards (September 4, 1918 – June 18, 1998) was an American Piedmont blues guitarist and singer. In a sporadic career spanning several decades he worked variously with Mississippi John Hurt, Skip James, and John Jackson.

In the 1950s, his own barber shop attracted blues musicians, who helped to kickstart Edwards' musical career.
