John T. Smith (blues musician)
John T. Smith (1896 – June 30, 1940) was an American Texas blues musician, who had a short lived recording session with Vocalion Records. Little is known about his life, although he was a busking street musician in Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. He was believed to born sometime between 1880 and 1890. Smith played at parties, juke joints, and fish fries. In a two year period, from 1930 to 1931 he made close to twenty recordings. Among the songs he recorded was his trademark song, "Howlin Wolf Blues". On occasion the recording company would call him "The Howlin Wolf", and he may have had a musical influence on the young Chester Burnett who in the late 1940s and 1950s, was billed as Howlin' Wolf. Smith's style of playing was reminiscent to Blind Lemon Jefferson.〔
==Early life and musical career==
Smith's birth date is not known for certainty, but he is believed to have been born in 1896. He was the child of Amos Smith and Hattie Webb, and was born in east Texas. Smith worked at the Lincoln Theatre in New York City, and also resided in Oklahoma for a while. In the 1920s, Smith got married. He was playing at local dances, picnics, and fairs, during the time he paired up with local Texas bluesman, Thomas Shaw. In 1930, Smith recorded for Vocalion in Chicago, even though he was playing in the Dallas area from the 1920s to 1930s. He has been said to have worn a stovepipe hat with his name stitched into the hat.〔
