The late Nashville TN based blues singer and harmonica player Thomas "Shy Guy" Douglas had a rather long and continuous career in the local music scene, making records for Excello, Bullet and MCA back in the day. He was one of Nashville’s greatest Bluesmen (some figure he was the Greatest in the Down Home genre). In the 1940s, he frequented the city’s Bijou Theater, a black-oriented venue located on Fourth Avenue that had earlier hosted performers such as Bessie Smith and Ethel Waters. Red Wortham discovered him in 1947 and recorded him first in 1950.
