Biography
Biography
My first introduction to Algia Mae Hinton was through a 60-second video I happened upon on YouTube where she was buck dancing while playing the guitar behind her head! Who was this remarkable woman, and how had I never heard of her before? The clip, I later learned, was from a film produced by Mike Seeger titled Talking Feet. I would also soon learn that Algia Mae Hinton was a master of Piedmont blues, a preserver of old-time musical traditions, and an important piece of the story of the blues.
"Ain't nothing she could see that she couldn't play"
"Ain't nothing she could see that she couldn't play"
Algia Mae O’Neal was born on August 29, 1929, in Johnston County, North Carolina, in a farming community called O’Neal Township. Her parents, Alexander and Ollie O’Neal were tenant farmers who were also part of an early string band tradition (Bastin, 1986, p. 287). Ollie O’Neal was a multi-instrumentalist who played finger-picking Piedmont blues guitar, autoharp, harmonica, piano, and more. She was such an excellent guitarist that, like the infamous Robert Johnson, she was rumored to have sold her soul to the devil in exchange for her guitar prowess (Bastin, 1986).
All the Hintons played music. The youngest of 14 children, Algia Mae Hinton learned to play guitar at age 9 from her mother. In a 1994 interview with blues researcher Barry Lee Pearson (2020), Hinton details the extent of her mother’s influence on her own musicianship:
“I come from a big family and they all played. But my mother she was good at it. She played a lot of blues and spirituals. She did both of them. And she played everything. And she played guitar. She played piano. She’d blow a harp. She’d knock her spoons [. . . .] She done all that. You name it, she played it. Ain’t nothing she could see that she couldn’t play. So I’m gonna come on and do the same thing. I tried to learn like my mother did.”
The first song Hinton learned from her mother was “Honey Babe;” a song which later became the title of her first solo album (Matabane, 2014; Pearson, 2020). Her aunt also played guitar and banjo, teaching Hinton her most well-known song, “Cook Cornbread for Your Husband and Biscuits for Your Outside Man” (Pearson, 2020). Hinton’s father taught her buck dancing, “a percussive soft-shoe folk dance originating among African Americans during the antebellum period” (Turner, 2021, p. 5). Algia Mae Hinton would ultimately become a multi-instrumentalist like her mother – playing guitar, banjo, and piano – and a buck dancer like her father (“Sing on, Mrs. Hinton,” 1985). By adolescence, she was performing at house parties, “frolics,” and family gatherings, blending music and dance.
Birth of a Music Career
Birth of a Music Career
Like the Georgia-based blues guitarist Precious Bryant, Algia Mae Hinton’s music career was shaped by the death of her husband and by important connections she formed with other musicians and folklorists.
Hinton’s personal life was marked by hardship. After marrying Millard Hinton in 1950, they moved to Raleigh and had seven children. In 1965, Hinton returned to O’Neal Township after her husband’s untimely death. Hinton described her husband’s jealousy as a major obstacle to her music career:
“My father wasn’t jealous, but my husband was so jealous, I couldn’t even do nothing [. . . .] When I had the old man, I had to sit still. He was so jealous he couldn’t even stand me to talk [. . . .] I liked to play guitar, but he didn’t like to see me play. I say: ‘Man I’m used to playing guitar.’ He say: ‘You ain’t playing no guitar now’ [. . . .] I said, ‘Well, one of these days I will be playing my guitar.’ So I thanks the Lord he slipped away [. . . .] I didn’t play until he died” (Pearson, 2020).
Following the death of her husband, Hinton supported her family through seasonal farm work, supplementing her income playing guitar and buck dancing at house parties (Turner, 2021). She began to play beyond her local township community after accepting an invitation from folklorist Glenn Hinson to perform at the North Carolina Folk Festival. From there, she made the rounds in the folk festival circuit, playing at the National Folk Festival, the Chicago Blues Festival, American Folk Roots series at Carnegie Hall, the World’s Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee, the Port Townsend Blues Festival in Washington, and the Blues Al Femminile series in Turin, Italy (Lightnin’ Wells, 1996; Turner, 2021).
Her first recordings appeared on the 1978 Glenn Hinson-produced compilation album, Eight-Hand sets and Holy Steps. After playing at Carnegie Hall in 1984, she lost all her possessions, including her guitar, in a house fire. She wrote the song, “Going Down this Road” about that experience (Lightnin’ Wells, 1999). A year later, she released that song and four others on her first commercial album, Piedmont Folk Traditions, produced by her friend and collaborator Lightnin’ Wells on the now defunct Audio Arts label.
In 1996, Hinton released the album, Algia Mae Hinton – Honey Babe (Blues, Folk Tunes and Gospel from North Carolina), also produced by Lightnin’ Wells through the Hin-Tone label. Honey Babe was reissued in 1999 with a different track listing through the Music Maker Relief Foundation after Wells joined the board of directors a few years earlier.
A Musical Legacy
A Musical Legacy
Hinton’s career spanned decades. She appeared on numerous compilations, including Sisters of the South (2003), Blues Guitar Women (2005), and We Are the Music Makers (2014). She was also featured in Alan Lomax’s American Roots series and Eleanor Ellis’ Blues House Party. Her accolades included the 1992 North Carolina Folk Heritage Award and a nomination for the W.C. Handy Blues Award in 2000.
Algia Mae Hinton passed away on February 8, 2018, in Middlesex, North Carolina, at the age of 88. A custodian of the Piedmont blues tradition, Hinton preserved a critical link to the past while inspiring future generations. Her legacy lives on through her recordings, festival performances, and the buck dancing traditions she passed down to her children -- her son Williette Hinton continues to buck dance on the festival circuit -- and grandchildren. Algia Mae Hinton will forever remain a true gem in the history of blues, folk, gospel, and old-time music.
