Various Artists - All Blues 1920's - 50's

Another of my compilations sourced from my CD collection.  This is the Root for me and these are only some of the heroes of this wonderful music we call The Blues...These are some of my favourite early historical classics ...I left out John Lee Hooker (who I saw live in the 1960's) and Lightning Hopkins and many others, forgotten by todays culture ...- Gus
