Essential Mississippi Blues


The Mississippi Delta has some of the most fertile soil in the world and became one of the richest cotton growing areas in the world which before the American Civil War was worked exclusively by black slaves brought over from Africa The blues was forged on the anvil of poverty and hardship the black sharecroppers and tenant farmers had to endure Born of the harsh brutal conditions of life in the South and full of pain frustration and anger the passionate soulful sounds of the Delta revolutionised the sound of 20thcentury music This compilation celebrates some of its greatest exponents
