Kid Thomas en una pequeña recopilación de Norton Records. No confundir con un trompetista de Jazz de Nueva Orleans con el mismo nombre y más popular, este desafortunado bluesman de Chicago con un toque de rock'n'roll a lo Little Richard y un peinado imposible, además de todo tipo de trabajos para pagar la renta, tocaba en los años 50s la harmónica y la batería en clubes para otros como Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Howlin' Wolf o Bo Diddley aunque tomaría más tarde el micrófono para grabar algunos singles y dar algunos conciertos con su nombre. Su vida tuvo un final trágico y prematuro al ser disparado por el padre de un chico al que atropelló accidentalmente.
Kid Thomas in a small collection from the great Norton Records. Not to be confused with a jazz trumpeter from New Orleans of the same name and much more popular, this unfortunate Chicago bluesman with a touch of Little Richard and an impossible hairstyle, who did all kinds of jobs to pay the income, played the harmonica and drums in clubs for others like Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Howlin' Wolf and Bo Diddley but would later take the microphone to record some songs and give some concerts with his name. His life ended tragically and too early after being shot by the father of a boy who died because of an accidental knocking down by Thomas' car.
