VA - The Vintage Blues Box (2000)
Label: Eagle Records | Catalog.#: EEECD002 | Genre: Blues

The Vintage Blues Box is a carefully planned journey around the blues world of the 1920s, '30s and '40s. Listeners who take their seat in Big Bill Broonzy's rockin' chair are booked for a ride across the American South, from the Carolinas throungh Mississipi to Texas, then north to Chicago. This was blues country in those days (some of it still is, especially Chicago), and there will be singers, guitarists, pianists and harmonica-players at every stop.
