Bukka White (born Booker T. Washington White, November 12, 1909, near Houston, Mississippi) was a delta blues guitarist and singer. He gave his more famous cousin B.B. King his first guitar, a Stella. Bukka himself is remembered as a player of National Steel guitars.He first recorded for the Victor label in 1930, and nine years later recorded for folklorist Alan Lomax. Bob Dylan covered his song " Fixin' to Die Blues ", which aided his 'rediscovery' and propelled him onto the folk revival scene of the 1960s.
