Classic Delta And Deep South Blues From / Various- Classic Delta and Deep South Blues from (CD)
Mississippi, particularly the Delta, lays claim to being the land where the blues began. Forged in the crucible of poverty and racial oppression, blues flourished there as nowhere else, evolving into what most critics consider the deepest or most intense strain of the blues tradition.
