In 1927 he became the first Sunflower County musician to record. His recording of ''Crowing Rooster Blues'' accompanied by Richard ''Hacksaw'' Harney and Mylon Harney (Pat & Can) on guitars precedes Patton's more famous recording of ''Banty Rooster Blues'' by two years. This record, backed with ''Leaving Home Blues,'' is the only commercial blues recording in English that used the accordion until the emergence of zydeco.
