A new biography of the beloved but mysterious Blind Lemon Jefferson, famous blues musician. Born in 1897, Jefferson was a blind street musician who played his guitar at the corner of Elm Street and Central Avenue in the Deep Ellum area of Dallas, Texas, until a Paramount Records scout discovered him. Between 1926 and his untimely death in 1929, Jefferson made more than 80 records and became the biggestselling blues singer in America. Although his recordings are extensive, details about his life are relatively few. Through Govenar and Lornells extensive interviews and research, See That My Grave is Kept Clean gathers the scattered facts behind Blind Lemon Jeffersons mythic representations.
