Blues Unlimited #152 - Bluesville Folk and Country Blues (Hour 2)

by Sleepy Boy Hawkins

subscriber exclusive

about

Quite some time ago, we put together two programs that sampled the delectable treasures to be found among the 90 or so LPs in the legendary Bluesville catalog. Although those episodes, in turn, would end up being the inspiration for our seven-part miniseries on the label — the original two programs have been sitting quietly in the archives, gathering dust, ever since. Here they are again, for the first time in many years. In part one, we'll enjoy some great folk and acoustic blues from Lightnin' Hopkins, Sonny & Brownie, Robert Pete Williams, Henry Townsend, and many more.
