about

Join us as we get into our time machine, and go back to the 1920s and ’30s, to examine the blues traditions in Brownsville, Tennessee. At the epicenter of it all was one extraordinary man, who ‘cried the blues.’ On this episode, the first of two parts, we’ll focus primarily on the recordings that Sleepy John Estes and his buddies — Yank Rachell and Son Bonds, among others — made for the Victor and Bluebird labels, between 1928 and 1941.
