HCP #091 - The Eyeball Killer: True Crime on Jefferson Boulevard (opens the original)

Born Aaron Thibeaux Walker, he grew up in Oak Cliff’s Tenth Street neighborhood, where he was surrounded by music and crossed paths with some of the blues’ earliest legends, including Blind Lemon Jefferson and Lead Belly.
