Robert Lee Lowery (April 8, 1931 – October 25, 2016) was an American blues singer and guitarist.

[1] As a teenager, he picked up blues tunes from records by Robert Johnson, Lightnin' Hopkins, Blind Boy Fuller, Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup, and others, eventually developing his own distinctive style.

After moving to Santa Cruz, California in 1957, he backed up Big Mama Thornton.

Since then, he has traveled worldwide, and performed at many blues festivals and concerts, including a special appearance of fellow Arkansas native President Bill Clinton's 1993 inauguration.

More recently, Lowery's reputation as an authentic Delta blues musician has taken him far beyond California.
