Blind Joe Hill (January 7, 1931 – November 17, 1999)[2] was an American blues singer, guitarist, harmonica player and drummer.

A one-man band, he was adopted and named Joe Thomas Hill after being born in Pennsylvania, United States.[1] He played in the styles of Joe Hill Louis and Doctor Ross.[3] He used his craggy vocals supported by guitar, bass, and drums, and was one of the last practitioners of the one-man blues band tradition.[4] Hill recorded two albums under his own name on the Barrelhouse[5] and L+R labels,[1] and was part of the 1985 American Folk Blues Festival touring Europe.

He died in Los Angeles, California, and was cremated on November 17, 1999.[1][2]
