Joe Hill Louis was a one-man band, pure and simple. It's what he did, singing while playing guitar, adding in harmonica runs and keeping 4/4 time on a hi-hat and bass drum, all at once. It's a rare thing, one-man bands. A few names come to mind, like Doctor Ross, Jesse Fuller, and Duster Bennett, but it's a short list. An experienced street musician, Louis took what he did seriously, and always dressed impeccably, but he had a rough spark in him, too, and his street corner sets were frequently fascinating. The recording studio was another matter.
There's no getting around the novelty factor inherent in a one man band, but when listening to the tracks on the two-dsic KING OF THE ONE MAN BANDS chronicling the career of Joe Hill Louis, it's easy to forget the dexterity and musical talent that goes into such a performance. Louis, a staple of the Memphis blues scene of the early 1950s, played a straightforward, highly danceable version of classic R&B.

Joe Hill Louis was born Lester Hill in September 1921, near Memphis. His mother died when he was twelve or thirteen. Beaten by his stepmother, he ran away. Louis had a guitar style heavily influenced by the country blues, while his harp sound came out of the Sonny Boy Williamson style. On occasion you'll hear a John Lee Hooker influence in Louis' droning guitar sound. Many of his songs were played mid-tempo, which suited his style perfectly. But it's the faster tunes where Louis' sound really becomes almost mesmerizing. Disc A contains songs from the years 1949-1952, and Disc B continues from 1952 into 1954.
Joe Hill Louis (September 23, 1921 – August 5, 1957), born Lester Hill, was an American singer, guitarist, harmonica player and one-man band. He was one of a small number of one-man blues bands (along with fellow Memphis bluesman Doctor Ross) to have recorded commercially in the 1950s. He was also a session musician for Sun Records. Louis was born Lester (or possibly Leslie) Hill on September 23, 1921, in Raines, Tennessee.
