I figure if anybody has ever heard of this guy, it would be mannish or Mysterblues. I heard a song by him on the radio last night. He was playing a standard guitar. I don't remember hearing any other instruments because I was paying so much attention to him.

You mean to tell me that no one has heard of this guy!!

Yeah right ,, I think you're makin' this up.... Stranger things have happened in Lone Grove! Twilight Zone , maybe???? You know ,,late night crusin' ,,in the back woods and all of a sudden you THINK you hear sumthing .

Hey, buddy, that's pretty close. I was cruisin' home from work late at night on the back roads while smokin' a Backwoods.

But did you hear banjos?

Injun Joe · 09-14-2003, 07:59 PM

Jefslat, I live out in the country so it's quite possible there could have been banjos playing off in the distance.

I'll try and look some of his stuff up at Hastings. I'm too scared to look anything up on KaZaA right now.

That is VASTI Jackson NOT Fast Eye Jackson

Thanks, mannish. It sure sounded like the DJ said "Fasteye" so it's all his fault.

I'll check that sight out.

Vasti is from right here in Mississippi. I think that he lives in Hattiesburg now. He plays in Jackson regularly. Great with Patrice Moncell. I think that he grew up in Jackson.

Like most good blues artists, he is relatively unknown--unless it is in the blues world or die-hard fans.

Also, check out Eddie "Mississippi" Cotton--the Mississippi Cotton Club (band).
