BIOGRAPHY
Ross's blues style has been compared to that of John Lee Hooker and Sonny
Boy Williamson. His recordings for Sun Records in the 1950s include "The
Boogie Disease" and "Chicago Breakdown".
In 1951 Ross's records began to get airplay in Mississippi and Arkansas. He
recorded with Chess Records and Sun with a group that included folk
instruments, such as the washboard .
In 1954 Ross moved to the Detroit area and began working for General
Motors. He recorded some singles with Fortune Records, including "Cat
Squirrel" and "Industrial Boogie". He recorded an album issued by Testament
Records and toured with the American Folk Blues Festival in Europe in
1965.
He recorded an album for Blue Horizon Records while he was in London and
worked with Ornament Records in Germany in 1972. Ross and his music were
popular in Europe, more so than in his home country.
Ross won a Grammy for his 1981 album Rare Blues and subsequently enjoyed
a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim towards the end of his
career.
He died in 1993, at the age of 67, and was buried in Flint, Michigan. (Wikipedia)
