The British blues movement actually began in the late 1950s, but it was a few years later that it began to boom, thanks to the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds, and John Mayall. The godfather of it all, however, was Alexis Korner. He was there at the start, a mentor, adviser, and performer all through the heyday. The Brit blues boom gave us some remarkable performers, including the greatest of all British blues guitarists, Peter Green. It would all become blues-rock, thanks in large part to bands like Free and Led Zeppelin, and then the rock that would fill stadiums and sell gazillions of records. But even when boom turned to bust, the blues never died. The bands that were around then are, by and large, still around. The players are doing it more for love than money. British blues continue to come up with some excellent talent, as this collection shows very well. It may have retreated more into the underground, but in Britain, as in America, it'll never die completely. --Chris Nickson
