about

Join us as we dig through the archives, to bring you some of our favorite vinyl from the 1960s Blues Revival. We’ll hear a couple from Mississippi Fred McDowell's "I Do Not Play No Rock ‘N’ Roll," plus, rare tracks from “Ramblin’ On My Mind: A Collection of Classic Train and Travel Blues” — a 1965 anthology that never quite made it to the digital age. In addition, we’ll hear a few gems from “The Story of the Blues,” a double LP compiled by Paul Oliver in 1969, meant to accompany his critically acclaimed book of the same name. We’ve also thrown in a couple of super-rare cuts from Doctor Ross — coming off the very first LP on the Blue Horizon label, and we’ll close things off with a few favorites from “Down South Summing Meeting,” featuring a one-time only gathering of Big Joe Williams, Lightnin' Hopkins, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. It’s some of our favorite vinyl from the Blues Revival, on this episode of Blues Unlimited.
