This 4-CD set released in 1994, which covers all the charm and characteristics of pre-war blues, has been remastered and re-released in a new package! Take a journey through America's blues from more than half a century ago!
Classic black music from the 1920s to the early 1940s - pre-war blues.
There's blues sung unaccompanied in cotton fields, string bands playing guitar and fiddle, country blues with a strong local flavor from the Mississippi Delta to Memphis and Texas, urban jive that also crosses with jazz, and of course, gospel.
A total of 99 songs from 98 artists, covering regional styles from the South to Chicago, as well as a wide variety of music from the same era!
From the origins of blues to its entire development, listen to the music and enjoy the memories - this is the story of pre-war blues!
