Various Artists - Classic Blues from Smithsonian Folkways Recordings
Tax included.
Smithsonian Folkways presents Classic Blues from Smithsonian Folkways Recordings, a far-reaching collection tracing the depth and diversity of the blues tradition. Spanning half a century of recordings, it brings together defining voices including Lightnin' Hopkins, Lead Belly, Big Bill Broonzy, Son House, Elizabeth Cotten, Memphis Slim, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee.
Moving through Delta, Chicago, Piedmont, St. Louis and Southwestern styles, the set captures the many forms the blues has taken — from driving boogie and folk ballads to songs rich with humour, hardship and sly wit. First released in 2003 and now available on vinyl for the first time, this collection offers a broad introduction to some of the music's most influential artists, accompanied by extensive notes from musician and scholar Dr. Barry Lee Pearson.
