Bayless Rose

Blues guitarist and singer, who recorded four titles in Richmond, Ind., in 1930. "A hillbilly artist of this name is known to have been active later in the 1930s and there is a possibility therefore that this is the same (white) artist, but his involvement in other recordings by African-Americans makes it likely that this is a different performer." ("Blues & gospel records 1890-1943", Oxford University Press, 1997, p. 771)
