Essential Delta Blues

Description:


Despite the freedom gained in the American Civil War, most African-Americans had seen little change in their living conditions by the beginning of the 20th Century. Ironically, it would take another conflict to change the outlook. The First World War created jobs for unskilled workers in the North and many took the opportunity to escape the cloying restrictions of the South. The unsophisticated sounds of the country were no longer relevant to their lifestyles and the music changed accordingly. Without the blues there would have been no rock 'n' roll, and this generous 50 track compilation is nothing less than the roots of that revolution.

M.D.J.W. · 4 April 2013

Some of the tracks on this CD were 'scratchy', but given the age of the original recordings not surprising (possibly better material could've been found for those tracks affected)!Overall a very good CD with a good collection of 'Delta Blues', not your normal selection of 'greatest hits' material.Happy with the purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb bargain starter in the real blues

S. · 1 May 2012

50 tracks of authentic, mostly pre war mostly rural blues for less than a fiver. You'd be raving mad not to buy this if you are starting to take an interest in the real blues. From this double CD you can figure out easily which singers and which styles you are drawn to, ready for more in depth collecting later. For those who have a collection here's a great addition for the car, the bedroom, quick access to some all time favourites, whatever...

5.0 out of 5 stars fascinating recordings that laid the foundation for much modern music

50 original tracks to enjoy... i love how the 2 discs look like tiny vinyl records!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good value to see if you like blues

c.a. · 10 April 2017

I bought this as a cheap way of seeing if I liked blues. It is very good value for money, and although many of the songs are lively, the best have been covered better by later artists. I have decided I am not a fan of blues and donated this to the PDSA.

Gut-Bucket, Essential Blues from the Delta

り. · 2 November 2014

I've got quite a few different collections of blues music, and this might be my favorite. It's the real deal, straight and unadulterated by over-production and polishing. A fine selection of great artists and their music, and as always the good people at Not Now deliver a great product at a brilliant price. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Great collection of early blues recordings

L.S. · 14 February 2025

I have individual collections from a lot of the best known early blues artists like Charlie Patton, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Skip James, Bessie Smith and Blind Willie McTell but this 2 cd set features some noteworthy blues pioneers I was previously unaware of. Very good sound quality is a bonus too. Excellent 2 cd set
