Classic Blues Artwork From the 1920's - Calendar and

 


We've been buying this series for years now and it never lets us down. The calendar is compiled from amazing images of ads from/for the blues records included on the CD and each day notes the birth or death of important men and women of the blues. The CD is always an extraordinary selection of blues classics - in this case from the likes of Sonny Boy Williamson, Leadbelly, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Blind Boy Fuller, Victoria Spivey and more - and rarities - this time consisting of eleven tracks by Lost John Hunter, who was supposedly the first African-American bluesman to record at Sun Studios. How Blues Images managed to find the entire recorded output - that had been unreleased - is anyone's guess, but they do have their feelers reaching out all over the world.

Always worth the cash - get it daddio!
