It features some well-known names who went on to play a major role in the blues revival of the 60s and beyond Brownie McGhee, Sonny Terry, Champion Jack Dupree and the like plus some other big names like Dinah Washington and Big Joe Turner, alongside many lesser known and collectable tracks by artists whose focus was much more local. Its an evocative and slightly different angle on an ever-popular genre.
