Andrew "Blueblood" McMahon was born April 12, 1926 in Delhi, Louisiana on a small farm. On his seventh birthday he was given his first guitar, a $2.50 special from the local music store. With his $2.50 guitar strapped to his back, he ran away from his parents at the age of 11. Blueblood then wandered the country learning to play and sing the blues. Blueblood learned quickly and in his early years played with such top bluesmen as Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Elmo James, Little Walter, J.B. Hutto, and others.
After a few years of leading his own group, Blueblood joined the Howlin' Wolf Band in 1960, as bass player. Blueblood worked with the "Wolf" for over 13 years learning much from the great bluesman.
Blueblood has recorded extensively backing up many other top blues singers but this is the first album devoted entirely to Blueblood as the vocalist. ~ Perry Johnson (from the original album liner)

Thank you whoever uploaded this. This reminds me of an old man in my old neighborhood named Snooky Banks. I found out later he was a war hero, but he never talk much and he was always well dressed and sat smoking his pipe.
Miss you so much!
I do too, Sis. I wanted to hear his voice tonight, so I came to this video. Contine resting, Daddy. Kiss Mama for me. Love always, Your Kit Kat 😘🙏❤❤😘🙏
