about
Crying Sam Collins also known as Jim Foster, Jelly Roll Hunter, Big Boy Woods, Bunny Carter, Salty Dog Sam. August 11, 1887 in Louisiana to October 20, 1949 in Chicago, Illinois Largely forgotten today, "Cryin" Sam Collins tends to be the best exponent of the blues which developed as a possible hybrid of both Mississippi delta and Texas blues styles. His rich, ringing timbre of a voice reminiscent of Blind Lemon Jefferson packs the power and emotion of a midnight locomotive.
