H.C. with L.C.


We visited 82-year-old blues legend L.C. Ulmer at his home in Ellisville for our 12th Blues @ Home photo shoot and interview.


L.C. shared stories of his long and thriving blues career, which has taken him all over the world and brought him back home to Mississippi. 


He also gave us a sneak peek of his prized 1965 Gretsch guitar just like the one Chet Atkins played...


 L.C. has held many jobs over the years. He's been a janitor and a truck driver. He's picked cotton and cut timber. But, the one thing he has been ever since he can remember is a blues musician.
