Bo Weavil Jackson was an American singer-guitarist known for his contributions to blues music. His distinctive sound featured upbeat tempos, varied melodic lines, and impromptu instrumentals. He was also notably one of the first country bluesmen to be recorded, starting with Paramount Records and Vocalion Records in 1926. On Vocalion, he was credited as Sam Butler. Jackson's recordings, such as "Poor Boy Blues"/"Jefferson County Blues" (1927) and "Christians Fight On, Your Time Ain't Long"/"Heaven is My View" (1927), were highly sought by collectors and have been re-released on numerous compilation albums.
