Duster Bennett was a blues singer and musician who emerged from the British blues scene of the last ’60s as a popular club performer. He was equally adept at the harmonica, guitar and drums, at times even performing as a one-man blues band. As a session player, Bennett could be heard on countless John Peel programs as well as on recordings by early Fleetwood Mac and later, John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. Following a gig with Memphis Slim on March 26, 1976, Bennett allegedly fell asleep while driving home and was killed when he crashed into a truck.
