Jackson was playing all around Chicago in the early 1920s. He was noted for busking at the famous Chicago Maxwell Street Market. He soon recorded Papa's Lawdy Lawdy Blues and Airy Man Blues , the first commercially successful, self-accompanied recordings, by a male singer of the blues. One of his following tracks, Salty Dog Blues , became his most famous song. He soon began cutting records with Ida Cox, Hattie McDaniel and Ma Rainey.
