Rubin Lacey

Rubin Lacey

Rubin "Rube" Lacey was born (b; Jan 2 1901, d: 1972) at Pelahatchie, Mississippi, and learned guitar in his teens from an older performer, George Hendrix. Working out of the Jackson area in the Mississippi Delta, he became one of the state's most popular blues singers. His bottleneck style inspired that of the better known performer Son House. In 1928 Lacey recorded two dance tunes for Paramount Records; four years later he became a minister.
