Born in Indianola, Mississippi as Albert Nelson, on April 25, 1923. Being left handed without a lefthanded guitar did not put him of, he taught himself to play the guitar upside-down while keeping the strings strung for a right-handed player and playing with his thumb as opposed to a pick.

His guitar which he named "Lucy" was the legendary Gibson Flying V which became his his lifelong trademark.
