J.B. Lenoir was a committed artist and performer whose career was short-lived. After arriving in Chicago (Illinois) in 1949, he scored a hit in 1954 with"Mama Talk to Your Daughter". He also encountered censorship and trouble the same year for the controversial "Eisenhower Blues". J.B. Lenoir then went through a dark period when he was forced to give up music in part to survive on odd jobs. Willie Dixon came to his aid in 1963 for the recording of Alabama Blues. J.B. Lenoir died on April 29, 1967, following a car accident. In 2003, his life was the subject of Wim Wenders' film The Soul of a Man in The Blues series orchestrated by Martin Scorsese. His essential recordings can be found on The Parrot Antholoy compilation released in 2007.
