Linsey Alexander’s family has confirmed that this Chicago blues master passed early this morning. Sad sad news for the blues community and for our Delmark family

Born in Mississippi and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, Linsey Alexander discovered a down to earth city that truly understands and appreciates music on Chicago’s southside. In much the same way as many great blues artists before him, he grew up in a poor but honest and hard working family, learning early on that music has the power to lift the spirit and comfort the soul.

In Linsey’s own words, “Blues is not hard- it’s just a documentary about life”
