According to Eagle and LeBlanc, Blues: A Regional Experience, his father's name was John Arch Thompson, and Odell Thompson was Joe's brother (not cousin). Ghmyrtle (talk) 20:43, 20 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Ghmyrtle I agree with the father's name, but every source I used state Odell is a cousin. Does Eagle and LeBlanc's book trump them all?TheGracefulSlick (talk) 20:52, 20 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

(We don't use that word....) Not at all, but I thought I should point it out. I have no idea which is correct, and BARE is certainly not infallible. Ghmyrtle (talk) 20:56, 20 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
