Garfield Akers (born 1901 in Mississippi, died between 1953 and 1959, in Memphis) was a blues singer and guitarist, sometimes acting as Garfield Partee.
His output was extremely small, consisting of only four sides. His most well-known song is his debut, the "Cottonfield Blues" .
Because of the limited capacity of the discs which were used for recording in this era, tunes that exceeded a little over three minutes often were continued on the flip side of a 78rpm record.
