Artist Info: Dan Pickett

Dan Pickett (born as James Founty, Pike County, Alabama, August 31, 1907 - Boaz, Alabama, August 16, 1967) was an American country blues singer and guitarist.

What threw discographers and historians off for so many years was the fact that he used the performing name of Dan Pickett. Some thought that he might be Charlie Pickett who recorded for Vocalion in 1937, but Charlie was from Tennessee. In the summer of 1949 Pickett went to Philadelphia and recorded fourteen songs for Gotham Records. [read more...]
