Vaudeville Blues

In het begin van de 20e eeuw waren vaudeville-shows (een combinatie van muziek, dans en komedie) zeer populair. De reizende muzikanten waren de eersten die countryblues oppikten en het waren veelal zwarte zangeressen die centraal stonden in de shows. Zo verspreidde de blues zich vanuit het zuiden en ontstond een be´nvloeding van countryblues naar vaudeville en omgekeerd. Van Bessie Smith tot Charley Patton via Bessie Tucker en de Memphis Jug Band: dit is een fascinerend document met veel grote namen uit de countryblues. Goed geremastered, samengesteld en gedocumenteerd door Max Haymes: niet te missen voor bluesliefhebbers.
