Often referred to as the forgotten folklore of Delta history, the blues still resides deep in the hearts of a century’s worth of veteran listeners at B.B. King’s Blues Club, and in particular, the soul of 20-year-old guitarist Will Tucker. Tucker has been playing a weekly spot in B.B. King’s Blues Club for more than half a decade, which is impressive when that encompasses more than a quarter of his life. However, it wasn’t always like this. It all started when Tucker’s uncle ‘Buz Waddy,’ a respected Memphis musician, passed away seven years ago, leaving this world with memories, an untapped passion and a final gift to his unsuspecting nephew: an electric guitar. “When I inherited the guitar, I figured I would learn how to play a little to justify having a nice guitar. I got on the Internet and started looking up chords, just enough to fake a song or two,” Tucker says. “I got hooked on it and just kept on going and going.” At the time, Tucker was only 12 years old and recently equipped with his uncle’s Fender 60’s-reissue Stratocaster when he was introduced by his father — as most curious, aspiring musicians of that age typically are — to the rock n’ roll greats. His father introduced him to the sounds of legendary musicians like AC-DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd and other bands of that caliber, but what stuck out to Tucker most was Led Zeppelin. “I went nuts over Led Zeppelin. I had to learn every song in and out. Eventually I ended up buying a biography about them. It talked so much about all of those guys, growing up in the UK and being influenced by Delta Blues musicians.”
Tucker was so fascinated with Zeppelin that he was compelled to find where the origins, inspirations and raw energy of their rock n’ roll evolved. After a little research, Tucker found himself drawn to the blues and the deep culture that surrounded it, eventually realizing that it was the kind of music he was meant to make. “I dug Zeppelin but the blues just spoke to me. You know? I could feel it, I could relate to it, it moved me,” reminisces Tucker. As a few years went by, the then-14-year-old guitarist, who was now capable of playing more than just “a few chords,” was informed about an open jam night at Morgan Freeman’s Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, Mississippi. With his parents, Tucker took a chance, mustered up some courage and went. Barely out of middle school, a shaky Tucker nervously took to the stage and performed the classic blues tune, “Stormy Monday.” “I dove in right from the start, people went nuts and started cheering. A few measures went by and I thought, ‘man, this feels really good.’ Nervously, I started singing, and somehow or another I got through it,” says Tucker. “It was the first time I got that surge through my body, the chills.”
