U.P.Wilson
U.P.Wilson is a singer, songwriter, guitarist from the Fort Worth area. His style is a mixture of gospel, soul, blues, with a style that echoes the deep south.
He was born Huary Perry Wilson on Sept 4 1934
His recordings with JSP Records include;
Boogie Boy! The Texas Guitar Tornado Returns (1995)
This Is U.P. Wilson (1995)
Whirlwind (1996)
Booting
Good Bad Blues
The Best of the Texas Blues Guitar Tornado

And recorded albums in the early 90's with Red Lightnin' labels.
Attack Of The Atomic Guitar Live (1992)[/size]
and Double Trouble label;
Wild Texas Guitar [/size]
And the Fedora label;
On My Way (1999) [/size]
Wilson took his cues from the likes of ZuZu Bollin, Cat Man Fleming, Frankie Lee Sims, Mercy Baby and Nappy "Chin" Evans.
Boogie Chillun' was formed by Wilson when he moved from Dallas to Fort Worth with drummer and vocalist Robert Ealey. Sometime later he worked with Cornell Dupree.
During the late 70's, Wilson could be heard in a local Fort Worth bar called The Blue Bird. Wilson began touring the local area in 1987.
Wilson also was renown for what he called the "table trick" where he could place his guitar on a table and play a song with one hand while smoking a cigarette or drinking a beer with the other. Pretty cool.
U.P.Wilson died in France at the age of 70.
