Brewer Phillips (November 16, 1924 – August 30, 1999)[1] was an American blues guitarist, chiefly associated with juke joint blues and Chicago blues.[2]
Phillips was born on a plantation in Coila, Mississippi,[3] and learned the blues from Memphis Minnie at an early age.[2] He relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, and recorded with Bill Harvey, Roosevelt Sykes, later moving to Chicago where he played with Hound Dog Taylor.[3] Following Taylor's death in 1975, Phillips recorded under his own name and also performed with J. B. Hutto, Lil' Ed Williams, and Cub Koda, among others,[2] playing both acoustic and electric guitar. He recorded for Delmark Records and JSP Records.[4]
