Robert Wilkins (1896-1987) was born in Hernando, a small town in northern Mississippi, which nonetheless managed to contribute such musicians as Frank Stokes, Jim Jackson, Garfield Akers and Joe Callicott to the story of the Blues. Wilkins lived his adult life in Memphis and recorded 13 sides between September 1928 and February of 1930, and an additional 4 sides in October of 1935. He had a real flair for composition and often invented new forms for his songs. Many of these have become landmark performances in the story of the Country Blues.
