T-Bone Walker (May 28, 1910 — March 16, 1975) was an American blues guitarist, singer, pianist and songwriter who was one of the most important pioneers of the electric guitar. His electric guitar solos were among the first heard on modern blues recordings. He was ranked #47 in Rolling Stone magazine's Sept. 2003 list of The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. Aaron Thibeaux Walker was born in Linden, Texas of African American and Cherokee descent. His parents, Rance Walker and Movelia Jimerson were both musicians. In the early 1920s, the teenage Walker learned his craft amongst the street-strolling stringbands of Dallas. His mother and stepfather both played, and family friend Blind Lemon Jefferson sometimes joined the family for dinner. Walker was Jefferson's protege and would guide him around town for his gigs. In 1929, Walker made his recording debut with a single for Columbia, "Wichita Falls Blues"/"Trinity River Blues," billed as Oak Cliff T-Bone. Pianist Douglas Fernell was his musical partner for the disc.
