Cornelius Green, dubbed 'Lonesome Sundown' by producer J.D. Miller, was a master of the atmospheric, echo-laden Louisiana swamp blues sound. Recording for Excello in the late 1950s and 1960s, he laid down moody classics like 'My Home Is a Prison.' He abandoned music for the ministry in the mid-1960s, briefly returning in the 1970s before permanently retiring.
