about

Join us as we take a look at some killer down home blues from the great state of Texas — all of it from small, independent record labels in operation during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Some of them issued a couple dozen 78s, while others are barely more than a footnote in blues history — putting out just one or two. Join us as we take a journey into the independent spirit of postwar Texas country blues, on this episode of Blues Unlimited. Includes music from Frankie Lee Sims, Willie Lane, Ernest "Buddy" Lewis, Smokey Hogg, Lightnin' Hopkins, and many more.
