While the subject matter of most of Lenoir's singles on various labels was conventional for a blues artist, his first recordings, in 1950, included the topical “Korea Blues.” A 1954 release, “Eisenhower Blues,” resulted in controversy, and Parrot Records owner Al Benson took Lenoir back into the studio to rerecord the song as the more generic “Tax Paying Blues”; both issues featured “I’m in Korea” on the flip side. In 1965-66 Lenoir recorded a number of political songs for European release, including “Shot on James Meredith,” “Alabama March,” “Born Dead,” “Vietnam Blues,” and the biting “Down in Mississippi,” for producer Willie Dixon at the behest of German promoters Horst Lippman and Fritz Rau. Lenoir and his Afro-American Blues Band performed some of these songs during a 1965 tour of Europe. The material was reportedly deemed too controversial for release in the United States at the time and only appeared on American labels years later. Lenoir died on April 29, 1967, in Urbana, Illinois, due to complications resulting from an auto accident. In 2003 Lenoir's music gained more attention when he was featured in the Wim Wenders documentary "The Soul of a Man," and in 2011 he was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame.
