Blues Musician. Half of the Butler Twins Group, he and his brother Clarence learned guitar from their father Willie "Butch" Butler. One of 17 children born into a very poor family, the blues came natural to he and his brother. Their earliest influences, besides their father were Muddy Waters, Little Walter and Sonny Boy Williamson. A little later they discovered John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Reed and Lightnin' Hopkins. Their style of blues reflects these great sources into a form that remains untouched by time. The Butler Twins played that direct, down-home, gut-bucket brand of blues with strong Delta and early Chicago influences.
