LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Big Bill Broonzy was probably the most important Chicago blues artist of the Thirties and early Forties (that's before the period of "Chicago blues" represented by Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Little Walter, Howlin' Wolf). Not only did he record frequently under his own name, he also accompanied numerous other artists on their recordings, and acted as talent scout for record companies. In the Fifties he was probably the first to bring the blues to European audiences. Tracks here span from 1949 to '51, with many famous hits that bring you all the charisma of the so-called "blues minstrel". Track listing - 1. (I'm A) Wonderin' Man 2. I Love My Whiskey 3.
