Artist Info: Houston Boines

Houston Boines (Hazlehurst, Mississippi, December 30, 1918 - November 8, 1970?) was an American harmonica player and singer. He recorded with Charley Booker and Ike Turner.

Houston (or it may have been Huston) remains an obscure, shadowy figure despite having broadcast on KFFS' King Biscuit Time during one of Sonny Boy's regular prolonged absence.
He was still living there when he was enlisted in the army in January 1941, almost one year before the United States entered World War II. [read more...]
