Eugene "Buddy" Moss, born on January 16, 1914 in Jewell, Georgia, was an American blues musician. He began teaching himself harmonica at a young age. By 1928, he was busking around Atlanta. In December 1930, Moss secured his first recording date as a member of the Georgia Cotton Pickers with Curley Weaver and Robert "Barbecue Bob" Hicks, cutting four songs for Columbia Records. By 1933, Moss had taught himself guitar and made his debut as a solo artist for American Record Corporation (ARC), releasing several tracks including "Bye Bye Mama" (1933) and "Red River Blues" (1933). His career was interrupted by a prison sentence in 1936 but he returned to music in the early 1940s. Moss's career was reinvigorated by the blues revival of the 1960s and 1970s. Moss died on October 19, 1984.
