Before Delta slide guitar took over the airwaves, a street performer with a keening tenor voice and a six-string banjo transformed American music on Chicago's Maxwell Street. Meet Papa Charlie Jackson—the first male solo artist to become a blues recording star and the pioneer who popularized hokum blues.
In this episode, we trace Jackson’s journey from his New Orleans origins and medicine show circuit days to the recording booths of Paramount Records. Discover how his unique banjo-guitar technique and witty, double-entendre hits like "Shake That Thing", "Salty Dog Blues", and "All I Want Is a Spoonful" created foundational standards for blues, bluegrass, and rock & roll.
Key highlights from this episode:
- The Pioneer of Hokum: How Jackson bridged vaudeville humor, street performance, and commercial recording success.
- The Banjo-Guitar Sound: How his six-string banjo hybrid gave his fingerpicking its signature drive and volume.
- Accompanist to the Queens of Blues: His collaborative work backing vocal icons Ma Rainey and Ida Cox.
- A Lasting Legacy: How Jackson paved the way for future legends like Blind Lemon Jefferson, Blind Blake, and Big Bill Broonzy.
