Jackson, Mississippi guitarist who sometimes used slide, tried singing in various styles over the years & is also known for being friends with Tommy Johnson. They didn't record together, but did travel around both in medicine shows & without them, up until WWII. It was Bracey who gave Bill Barth & John Fahey Skip James' address, when James was in the hospital in Tunica Mississippi in 1964, but due to religious leanings wouldn't go back on the concert circuit himself. Recordings made in Memphis as one of the Nehi Boys with piano & clarinet.
