Search - Various Artists :: The Blue Box Of Blues

Blues in America, with its long and influential journey, has inspired much of our musical heritage. This 3 CD set presents some of the blues' most significant artists, forms, and evolutions. From ethnic blusemen Big Joe Turner, "Bos of Blues", to blues shouters like Eddie "Clean Head" Vinson and Johnny Otis, Disc One is a vignette of the early days of Blues. Disc Two provides the Texas strain, from which Elvis Presly emerged, with guitarist Roy Gains, smooth blues revivalist Memphis Slim and the prolific emotional experiences of John Lee Hooker. Disc Three is a freewheeling program by some great traditionalists, B.B. Kng, Jimmy Smith, Joe Williams, Jimmy Witherspoon, and others. A collection to be treasured!
