Essential Memphis Blues

Memphis blues first came to the world's notice through pioneer songwriter WC Handy (1873-1958), widely known as the 'Father of the Blues'. Whether your taste lies in the original Memphis blues of the Twenties and Thirties or in the more sophisticated sounds of the Fifties, there is something here to intrigue and delight; from Pearl Dixon, Jim Jackson and Charley Patton to Rufus Thomas and Little Milton.
