He was one of the early musicians who recorded playing slide guitar. He played upbeat, hokum and country blues tunes. Playing a National steel guitar flat on his lap Hawaiian style, he was known as the "Hawaiian Guitar Wizard". Weldon was married to the singer and guitarist Memphis Minnie in the 1920s.Only recently it has been widely accepted that he is not the musician, Will Weldon, who recorded between 1927 and 1928 as a member of the Memphis Jug Band.Weldon cut over 60 sides for Bluebird and Vocalion.

On Memphis Minnie's last recording for Bluebird Records, in October 1935, Weldon accompanied her for the first time.

He had solo hits with his two best-known songs, "Somebody Done Changed the Lock on That Door" and "We Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town".
