Blind Joe Hill (January 7, 1931 – November 17, 1999)[1] was an American blues singer, guitarist, harmonica player and drummer.
A one-man band, he was adopted and named Joe Thomas Hill after being born in Pennsylvania, United States.[2] He played in the styles of Joe Hill Louis and Doctor Ross.[3] He used his craggy vocals supported by guitar, bass, and drums, and was one of the last practitioners of the one-man blues band tradition.[4] Hill recorded two albums under his own name on the Barrelhouse[5] and L+R labels,[2] and was part of the 1985 American Folk Blues Festival touring Europe.
Blind Joe Hill played occasionally at the Starvation Cafe in Fontana California in the early 1980s.[6]
He died in Los Angeles, California, and was cremated on November 17, 1999.[2][1]
