Rock Roots » Blog Archive » Mississippi Joe Callicott

Joe Callicott, better known as Mississippi Joe Callicott (October 10, 1900 – 1969 [latter date is unconfirmed]), was an American blues singer and guitarist.

Callicott was born in Nesbit, Mississippi.  His “Love Me Baby Blues” has been covered by various artists, e.g. (under the title of “France Chance”) by Ry Cooder.   Arhoolie Records recorded Callicott commercially in the mid-1960′s. Some of his 1967 recordings (recorded by the music historian, George Mitchell) were re-released in 2003, on the Fat Possum record label. His best known recordings are “Great Long Ways From Home” and “Hoist Your Window and Let Your Curtain Down.”

He served as a mentor to the guitarist Kenny Brown when Brown was ten years old.

Joe Callicott is buried in the Mount Olive Baptist Church Cemetery in Nesbit, Mississippi. On April 29, 1995 a memorial headstone was placed on his grave arranged by the Mt. Zion Memorial Fund with the help of Kenny Brown and financed by Chris Strachwitz, Arhoolie Records and John Fogerty. Callicott’s original marker was a simple paving stone which read simply “Joe”. This was subsequently donated by his family to the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale, Mississippi. At the ceremony Arhoolie Records presented Callicott’s wife Doll with a check for his past royalties.
