Houston, Texas was a great place to be in the 1950’s if you’re young, talented and had a desire to play guitar. Joe ‘Guitar’ Hughes was testament to that, growing up with and trading chops with other guitar-greats such as Johnny Copeland, Albert Collins and Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson.
His crisp and concise guitar playing and warm vocals were familiar with Texas audiences, choosing a life spent near home and family, and only in later years being introduced to larger audiences. His talent was woefully under-recorded – but that changed with this release on the Blues Express® label.
