King Solomon Hill is the name assigned to a blues singer and guitarist who recorded a handful of songs in 1932. His unique guitar and voice combined to produce a sound that has been described as haunting.[2] After much speculation and dispute, he has been identified as Joe Holmes (July 18, 1897 – August 13, 1940),[3] a self-taught guitarist from Mississippi.[4]
