The Rough Guide to the Roots of the Blues

De Rough Guides met bluesmuziek blijven populair, vooral vanwege de vele onbekende pareltjes die de samenstellers weten op te duiken. Deze cd legt zich toe op de pioniers: van de countryblues van Blind Lemon Jefferson en Charley Patton tot de glitter en glamour van de klassieke blueszangeressen Bessie Smith en Ma Rainey. Zelfs de `songsters', de reizende troubadours die voorafgingen aan bovengenoemde blueszangers en - zangeressen worden niet vergeten met bijdragen van Henry Thomas en Papa Charlie Jackson.
