Smithsonian Folkways
Various Artists - Classic Blues from Smithsonian Folkways Recordings Various Artists
In the mid-20th century, Folkways Records became a major hub for blues legends
such as Lightnin' Hopkins, Lead Belly, Memphis Slim, Big Bill Broonzy, Elizabeth
Cotten, Sonny Terry, and Brownie McGhee. Classic Blues from Smithsonian Folkways
spans half a century and features these and other foundational figures in blues history
performing in the Delta, St.FLouis, Southwest, Piedmont, and Chicago styles. From
boogie to ballads and laced with innuendo and irony, this classic collection is
available on vinyl for the first time on two LPs with extensive notes by musician and
scholar Dr. Barry Lee Pearson.
