Joseph Benjamin Hutto (April 26, 1926 – June 12, 1983)[1] was an American blues musician. Influenced by Elmore James, Hutto became known for his slide guitar playing and declamatory style of singing. He was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame two years after his death.
The 1968 Delmark album Hawk Squat, which featured Sunnyland Slim on organ and piano, Lee Jackson on guitar,[8] and Maurice McIntyre on tenor saxophone, is regarded as Hutto's best album up to this point.[9]
