One of the last great rural blues stylists in the San Francisco/Oakland area,
K.C. Douglas produced a blues classic when he recorded "Mercury Boogie" in 1949.
The tune, which paid homage to the American automobile, was later renamed
"Mercury Blues" and covered by Steve Miller and David Lindley. Country superstar
Alan Jackson had a number one hit when he recorded the tune in 1992.
Rights to the song were purchased by the Ford Motor Company, which used it
for a television commercial for Ford trucks
