Guitarist & Little Rock resident Fenton Robinson (d. 1997) was born September 23, 1935 in MS. Solo artist; also worked with many greats. Played guitar on (Arkansas native) Larry Davis’ “Texas Flood.” Robinson’s “Loan Me A Dime” is a widely covered classic. youtu.be/O1d5UrNrDH8?...

stations continue to play his singles regularly, and an LP of his early sides has been bootlegged in Europe. He's done studio work in Chicago and Houston, backed Sonny Boy Williamson, toured with Charlie Musselwhite and gigged with his own bands all over the Midwest and South.
Fenton has been a bluesman on the move, in fact, ever Since he was sixteen, when he moved to Memphis from the Leflore County, Mississippi plantation where he was born on September 23, 1935. From Memphis he went to Little Rock, began recording, and toured through Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi. Chicago has been his home since 1962, but Fenton never hesitates to take off for Indianapolis, St. Louis, Memphis or California, confident that he can find a steady gig anywhere.
His music - solid, thoughtful, probing, often adven-turous, and mellow rather than harsh - reflects his per-sonality. When he talks about his music, he could just as easily be explaining his restless travels: "You listen to my playing, I never stay at one level. I'm always moving about.
A musician should always want to go further, and this is the type of musician lam. There's always something I want to learn, something I want to do. I guess I'll be that way the rest of my life." In recent years, Fenton has taken up formal musical training - rare for a bluesman.
Never satisfied, still developing, still creating, ever eager to learn : Fenton's always been that way. Back on the plan-

pretty much settled into retirement at home. He died at Helena Hospital in Helena, Arkansas on September 23, 1980, having outlived most of his old partners but being largely forgotten for his important role in the history of the blues. Mager Johnson in Crystal Springs still remembers, and so do a few surviving old King Biscuit Boys scattered about the country. Hopefully this album will add to a wider reputation that he was never able to enjoy completely in his lifetime.
