Henry Qualls (July 8, 1934 – December 7, 2003)^[1] was an American Texas and country blues guitarist and singer. He found success late in his life after being “discovered” in 1993 by the Dallas Blues Society.^[1][2][3] He released his only album in 1994 but toured globally playing at a number of festivals.

The Dallas Observer noted that “Qualls, whether unearthing obscurities from Jimmy Reed or Lowell Fulson or Blind Willie Johnson or bearing down upon his own material, is a purist’s dream-come-true, attacking his 36 year-old guitar with a demon-fire ferociousness first heard in the playing of Son House and other blues masters long gone to hell.
