Blind Boy Paxton is the embodiment of the blues in the 21st Century, but plays it all in the true folk songster tradition - ragtime, hokum, old time, French reels, Appalachian mountain music, blues and more.
Blind Boy' Paxton sings the blues, but he's also vocal at educating his fans about black culture where the blues originated.
The true bluesman with family roots deep in Louisiana says the blues is part of American culture so people can be "gung ho" about the genre, but it's important to remember where the blues came from.
His speciality is pre-1940s blues, straight from the south.
