Jack Owens
17 Nov, 1904 in Bentonia, Mississippi, USA
Jack Owens, born L. F. Nelson, was an American blues singer and guitarist. Owens did not seek to become a professional recording artist. He farmed, sold bootleg liquor, and ran a weekend juke joint in Bentonia for most of his life. His peer, Skip James, had left home... and traveled until he found a talent agent and a record label to sign him, but Owens preferred to remain at home, selling liquor and performing only on his front porch.
