Like Leadbelly and Mississippi John Hurt, the designation as strictly a blues singer 

dwarfs the musical breadth of Mance Lipscomb. Born on April 9, 1895 in Navasota, TX, 

Lipscomb was a sharecropper/tenant farmer all his life who didn't record until 1960, 

"songster" fits what Lipscomb did best. A proud, yet unboastful man, Lipscomb 

would point out that he was an educated musician, his ability to play everything 

from classic blues, ballads, pop songs to spirituals in a multitude of styles and 

keys being his particular mark of originality. He appeared at numerous blues 

and folk festivals throughout the '60s, released several albums on Arhoolie 

and even one for a major label, Reprise, in 1970, Trouble in Mind. 

Four years later, Lipscomb retired from the festival circuit
