Bukka White (born Booker T. Washington White, November 12, 1909, near Houston, Mississippi) was a delta blues guitarist and singer. He gave his more famous cousin B.B. King his first guitar, a Stella. Bukka himself is remembered as a player of National Steel guitars.
He first recorded for the Victor label in 1930, and nine years later recorded for folklorist Alan Lomax. Bob Dylan covered his song "Fixin' to Die Blues", which aided his 'rediscovery' and propelled him onto the folk revival scene of the 1960s.
