  • Arvella Gray war ein afroamerikanischer Bluessänger und Gitarrist, der den Großteil seines Lebens als Straßenmusikant in Chicago, vor allem auf dem (Floh)Markt um die Maxwell Street Blues- und Gospelmusik gespielt hat. Aufnahmen von ihm sind auf etlichen Schallplattensamplern, drei selbst produzierten 45 rpm Platten sowie auf einem Album aus dem Jahre 1972, das 2005 als CD wiederveröffentlicht wurde, zu hören.
  • Nato in Texas, ha poi trascorso gran parte della sua vita esibendosi come artista di strada nella città di Chicago, soprattutto nell'area di Maxwell Street. Il suo stile era un miscuglio di folk, blues e gospel. Gray, il cui vero nome era Walter o James Dixon, perse la vista durante gli anni trenta, probabilmente durante una rapina in banca, fatto per il quale ci si riferisce all'artista anche come a Blind Arvella Gray. L'unico album pubblicato si intitola The Singing Drifter ed uscì per la prima volta nel 1972 in versione vinile; nel 2005 ne è uscita una versione CD remasterizzata per l'etichetta Conjuroo.
