Bluesman Joe Calicott was born and lived his whole life in the small town of Nesbit, Mississippi, and is one of the most underrecorded legends of the Mississippi delta solo acoustic blues tradition. He first picked up the guitar at the age of 15 and, in 1929, first appeared on 78s as the second guitarist to Garfield Akers. A year later he recorded two tracks with Jim Jackson, “Traveling Mama Blues” and “Fare Thee Well Blues,” which have since appeared on many compilations including Blow My Blues Away, Vol. 2. His playing on these tracks is marked by an aggressive vocal that would mellow throughout the years.
Callicott almost completely gave up the guitar in 1959, the year of Akers death, but picked up again in the mid-60s for his own personal enjoyment. In 1967, blues documentarianGeorge Mitchell sought out the artist and recorded eleven tracks with the then slowed down but still magnificent musician. These tracks would later surface as part of Fat Possum’s George Mitchell Archive and the 2003 album Ain’t A Gonna Lie To You. Just before he died, in 1969, Callicott mentored Kenny Brown, a then 10-year-old boy who skipped school to learn guitar from this unassuming master who lived just down the street.
Ain’t a Gonna Lie to You contains the final sessions by bluesman Mississippi Joe Callicott, recorded in 1967 and 1968 by blues historian George Mitchell. In the ’60s, Mitchell had taken a trip to the deep South to record extensively both legendary and obscure bluesmen, including Fred McDowell, Johnny Woods, and Callicott. At the time of these recordings, Callicott had all but given up playing professionally; when he did play it was for his own enjoyment. Unlike the grittier sound associated with the Mississippi Delta, Callicott played in a relaxed style that had much in common with Mississippi John Hurt. Happily, Ain’t a Gonna Lie to You is the first in a series of discs Fat Possum will be releasing from Mitchell’s deep archives.
