  • Description

    Lewis stands out as a major figure in the early Memphis blues culture, and one of the few bottleneck stylists from the area. Having learned his repertoire in the first decade of the 20th century, Furry's arrangements of blues ballads offer a glimpse of early black music.Musically he ranges from ragtime to blues, and is truly one of the great performers of the genre.
