You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

^^My grandfather had some of his records. John released records under different names, like "Texas Slim".

Lightnin' Hopkins did this too. They basically ignored any contracts that were signed to, and would record for anyone that would pay them. That's why some of the bluesmen from that era used different names, one for each label.
