about

Join us as we aim the spotlight on a classic series of LPs from Chess Records. Simply called "The Blues," they issued five volumes between 1963 and 1966, plus a sixth "bonus" installment a quarter century later, in 1991. For many blues lovers, it was their primary introduction to one of the most famous independent record labels of all time. In part one, we'll focus on the first two volumes, plus the first half of volume three, along with a handful of rarities from volume six. Includes music from Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, John Lee Hooker, Chuck Berry, Buddy Guy, and many more.
