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.
