Meaning in the Blues

One of the sparks that ignited the British blues boom was Paul Oliver's 1960 book Blues Fell This Morning. It's been cited as a catalyst by countless UK artists; here are 4 CDs of seminal tracks (many quite rare) referenced in it: Falling Rain Blues Lonnie Johnson; Dark Night Blues Blind Willie McTell; Pony Blues Charley Patton; Shake 'Em on Down Bukka White; No Place to Go Walter Davis; Cottonseed Blues Roosevelt Sykes; Dry Spell Blues Pt. 1 Son House; Blue Monday Blues Ida Cox, and more!
