Juke Boy Bonner

I came across a Juke Boy Bonner record on vinyl back in my teens and I could never understand why he wasn't a big name.

The late Juke Boy Bonner, one-man trio, was a bluesman right up my alley. He only lived to be 46 years old, but he left us some excellent recordings. Here he is on Swiss TV


Here's Running Shoes


The first tune I ever heard by him was called Life is a Nightmare and it had chilling lyrics:
Life is a Nightmare
that's just the way it seems
so many ups and downs
valleys filled with empty dreams.

Life Gave me a Dirty Deal
