<"b000amraro4999"> Album Description
Few forms of music touch the heart, as do the blues - with their mournful repetitions and moving lyrics that were born out of the turbulent experiences of black slaves. So undeniable is the lure of this form that several other forms of music have drawn inspiration from it in varying measures. Blues and jazz are closely related and such influential exponents of Jazz as Jelly Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong used blues freely in their music. Soul music, rhythm and even Rock music have not escaped its influence.

The great depression and the two global conflicts played a major role in the spread of Blues as the African Americans from the southern states spread across the country and the globe. With this globalization also came several modifications to this primarily solo-artist form of music. Blue lyrics were adapted to suit urban tastes and the lone guitar or harmonica was joined by the piano and several other instruments.

This CD takes you back to the days when the blues were yet in their original form and give you a great feel of what the original music and lyrics were like. Despite the fact that these recordings were made in the 40s, the sound quality has been miraculously well preserved. Experience the power of the blues as Estelle, Buster and the Golden Jubilee Quartet thrill you with the best of the blues from over half a century ago.
