Clarence Gatemouth Brown (April 18, 1924 – September 10, 2005) made an indelible mark on the blues and roots music landscape with a career spanning six decades. Born in Vinton, Louisiana, he grew into one of the most versatile performers in American music, mastering guitar, violin (fiddle), mandolin, viola, harmonica, piano, and drums. Brown’s sound drew from blues, swing, Cajun, country, jazz, and Texan blues, creating a vibrant, genre-crossing voice that influenced generations of players.
