Leo "Bud" Welch

It's never too late to start a recording career. Just ask 83-year-old Leo "Bud" Welch. His first record came out in 2013, decades after he first picked up a guitar in 1945. For blues fans, it's been worth the wait. This is real blues straight from rural Mississippi to the mountains.
