Juke Boy Bonner

voc, g, h, 1932-1978 US, Bellville, Texas
Singer / Musician of Blues
A.k.a. Weldon H. Philip Bonner

Juke Boy Bonner (born March 22, 1932, Bellville, Texas, USA - died June 29, 1978, Houston, Texas, USA) was an American blues musician and songwriter. He played guitar among the juke-joints and bars of Houston as a 'one man band' (using a harmonica rack in the manner of Jimmy Reed or Bob Dylan). Much of his output was self-recorded in the Texas Blues style and has a distinct 'down home' flavor similar to that of Lightnin' Hopkins.
