Gifted with a striking and almost immediately identifable vocal style characterized by an amazing vibrato, J.D. Short was also a very versatile musician. He played piano, saxophone, guitar, harmonica, clarinet and drums. Growing up in the Mississippi Delta, Short learned guitar and piano. He was a frequent performer at house parties before he moved to St. Louis in the '20s. Short played with <a href="spotify:artist:4uttLvHGtQSpcf5D3PLW6E">the Neckbones</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3MijJKRRDFCloUGgruJ50Z">Henry Spaulding</a>, Honeyboy Edwards, Douglas Williams, and <a href="spotify:artist:07NzVZ0BHZ0QOOw7nGvCgo">Big Joe Williams</a> from the '30s until the early '60s. He recorded for Vocalion, Delmark, Folkways, and Sonet. Short was in the 1963 documentary The Blues, but died before it was released. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi
