Peg Leg Sam

Peg Leg Sam

Arthur Jackson (Jonesville, Caroline du Sud, 1911 - idem, 1977) était un chanteur et harmoniciste de blues américain.

Artiste à part, musicien itinérant, un des derniers survivants des "medicine-shows", Peg Leg Sam (surnommé ainsi à cause de sa jambe de bois) est un musicien hors normes, capable de jouer avec le nez ou avec l’harmonica entièrement dans la bouche. Son style est typiquement rural et il joue généralement seul, parfois accompagné d’une guitare acoustique.
