⬇️ JIM BREWER ⬇️
(7LP/CD)
BIOGRAPHY
James Brewer (October 3, 1920 – June 3, 1988), also known as Blind
Jim Brewer (although Brewer did not like this additive: "My mother
didn't name me "Blind", she named me "Jim"), was an American blues
singer and guitarist.
Born in Brookhaven, Mississippi, United States, he moved to Chicago, Illinois, in the 1940s, spending the
latter part of his life busking and performing both blues and
religious songs at blues and folk festivals, on Chicago's Maxwell
Street and other venues. In Chicago, he often performed with Arvella
Gray.
In the 'boom' time during the 1960s blues revival period, Brewer
worked on the college circuit and appeared on television. During
that time, he had recordings issued on Heritage, Flyright and
Testament Records.
