Wade Walton (October 10, 1923 – January 10, 2000)[1] was an American blues musician and local civil rights leader from Mississippi. He was also a renowned barber, who counted many famous musicians amongst his friends, colleagues, and customers. Early lifeWalton was born in Lombardy, Mississippi but grew up near Parchman Farm.[1] He attended barber college in Memphis, Tennessee, and subsequently opened a barber shop in Clarksdale, Mississippi.[1] CareerWalton was known as the "blues barber"[2] because his "Big Six barber shop"[3] was a center of musical activity in Clarksdale. It was located first at 304 Fourth Street, and since 1989 at 317 Issaquena Avenue,[4] which was previously the site of W.C. Handy's house.[5] Walton was proficient on the harmonica, the guitar, and the razor strop,[4] which he played by striking it rhythmically with his razor.[6] Walton was recorded in his barber shop by Paul Oliver in 1960.[10] He later recorded an album, Shake 'Em On Down, released by Bluesville Records in the early 1960s.[4] In 1960, by chance, Robert Curtis Smith met Paul Oliver and Chris Strachwitz in Walton's barber shop. This led to Smith recording, The Blues of Robert Curtis Smith: Clarksdale Blues (1963).[7][8] Walton played in the Kings of Rhythm with Ike Turner, but stayed on working as a barber in Clarksdale when Turner took the group national.[9] Many musicians and other notable people patronized Walton's barber shop to play music with him or in homage, including Howlin' Wolf,[10] Muddy Waters,[11] Sonny Boy Williamson II, and Allen Ginsberg.[4] Walton was also a local NAACP leader during the civil rights movement in the early 1960s,[11] resulting in the bombing of his barbershop.[12] He makes appearances in Bill Ferris's 1975 documentary about the Delta blues, Give My Poor Heart Ease[13] and in Robert Mugge's documentary film A Musical Pilgrimage to the Crossroads.[4] Walton died in St. Louis, Missouri, on January 10, 2000, at the age of 77.[14][15] Discography
