"Philadelphia" Jerry Ricks

Wow ! This guy knew personally the legendary Mississippi John Hurt, the man from Avalon !  He met him around 1963, accommodated him in his house for several weeks, played and recorded with him a couple of times, and naturally fell under his musical influence, later paying his dues by playing his songs or those he used to sing, at each concert or on his own albums. A guy like that can't be bad. Gerald Lawrence Ricks dubbed "Philadelphia" Jerry Ricks is much more than that : he's great  !
