Native Helena (Phillips County) bluesman CeDell Davis was stricken by polio at age nine, which crippled his right hand. To compensate, he played his guitar in a left-handed bottleneck style, fretting with a butter knife. Though he performed music most of his life, he did not sign a record deal until the 1990s, releasing his debut solo album, Feel Like Doin’ Something Wrong, in 1993.
