Archie Edwards (September 4, 1918 – June 18, 1998) was an American Piedmont blues guitarist and singer. In a sporadic career spanning several decades he worked variously with Mississippi John Hurt, Skip James, and John Jackson. His best known tracks included "Saturday Night Hop", "The Road is Rough and Rocky", and "I Called My Baby Long Distance". In the 1950s, his own barber shop attracted blues musicians, who helped to kickstart Edwards' musical career. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Arch
