Alec Johnson

Alec Johnson's place in blues history has been assured by his participation in a series of 1928 recording sessions held in Atlanta, the surefire talent noses of A&R bloodhounds Polk Brockman and Dan Hornsby much in evidence. Reissue labels such as Document are fond of combining these Atlanta sessions with a similar, also high-quality recording venture which took place several years later in Jackson, MS, overlapping into the black string band genre. All told, some or all of the same Johnson tracks are available on as much as a dozen different vintage country blues compilations....
