Here is a rare treat for Blues fans. For those of you who know who Fenton, you are going to appreciate this. Unfortunately, this great blues player is overlooked. Born in Mississippi, you'd think that he would have bellied up tot he delta blues style but as it turns out, he was inspired by the Texas swing men (T-Bone Walker) and so he moved to Memphis while still a teenager. A few recordings and a few contacts led him to move to Chicago where he took on that city's classic blues. He conquered.

Fenton started out by wrting for Lowell Fulson and Larry Davis, and then performing with Sonny Boy Williamson, Junior Wells, and many other blues legends. He toured with Charlie Musselwhite and eventually worked the blues circuit with his own bands. But all the while, he formed his own sound --- elaborate chord progressions, subtle, melodic solos and soulful singing. His monstor hit LP, Somebody Loan Me A Dime, secured him a permanent place in the blues hall of fame. He toured the national blues club circuit and performed at a number of major blues festivals.

In the late 80's, Fenton moved to Springfield IL where he taught in the school system, teaching the roots of blues and instrumental techniques.  He only performed occassionally as he felt his low key stage presence wasn't well received anymore. He delivered the featured performance at the 1995 Chicago Blues Festival in front of over 100,000 people. Fenton Robinson passed away on November 25, 1997.
