Pee Wee Crayton

Connie Curtis Crayton, known as Pee Wee Crayton, was a West Coast blues guitarist who was one of the first to build on T-Bone Walker's electric guitar innovations. His 1948 recording of 'Blues After Hours' for Modern Records was a number one R&B hit, and his smooth, jazz-inflected guitar style was influential in the development of the West Coast blues sound. He recorded for Modern, Imperial, Vee-Jay, and other labels, and remained active on the California blues circuit until his death.
