Template:Short description Fiddlin' Joe Martin (January 8, 1900, Edwards, Mississippi – November 2, 1975, Walls, Mississippi)[1] was an American blues musician, who played mandolin on Son House's recording sessions inspired by Alan Lomax in 1941.[2]

Martin was a versatile musician who could play guitar, fiddle, mandolin,[3] washboard and drums.[4] Paul Oliver wrote that he "worked the Delta joints for over fifty years" after leaving Edwards in 1918 when he was fourteen.[5] Martin worked with numerous blues artists including House, Willie Brown, Charley Patton and Howlin' Wolf.[2] He is mostly associated with Woodrow Adams, on all of whose recordings he appeared.[2] Martin and Adams played live together in the Mississippi area until Martin’s death.[1]
