Melvin "Lil' Son" Jackson (August 16, 1915, Tyler, Texas - May 30, 1976, Dallas) was an American blues guitarist. He was a contemporary of Lightnin' Hopkins.〔
==Biography==
Jackson's mother played gospel guitar, and he played early on in a gospel group called the Blue Eagle Four.〔 He trained to be a mechanic and did a stint in the Army during World War II, then decided to pursue a career in blues music.〔 He recorded a demo and sent it to Bill Quinn, the owner of Gold Star Records, in 1946. Quinn signed him to a recording contract and released "Freedom Train Blues" in 1948, which became a nationwide hit in the U.S.〔 He recorded for Imperial Records between 1950 and 1954, both as a solo artist and with a backing band.〔 His 1950 tune "Rockin' and Rollin" was recast by later musicians as "Rock Me Baby".〔〔Broven, John; Gibbon, Peter (2002).

He was hurt in a car crash in the middle of the 1950s and gave up his music career, returning to work as a mechanic.〔 In 1960 he released a LP for Arhoolie, but he did not make a major comeback in the wake of the blues revival.〔 He died of cancer in 1976 in Dallas, at the age of 60.〔〔(Thedeadrockstarsclub.com - accessed May 2009 )〕
