Roots of It All Acoustic Blues Vol. 2

(2-CD set) Our second volume in this series commences at just about the time that amplification was beginning to permanently alter the definition of blues guitar. Texan T-Bone Walker was at the vanguard of the new electrified approach. He inspired an army of daring young disciples who picked out dazzling single-string solos that fit right into the urban jump blues phenomenon sweeping the country during the immediate postwar era. Second volume in this series of four 2-CD digipac sets Covering the story of acoustic blues from 1941 to 1959 Pre-war and post-war recordings, a total of 55 tracks, carefully re-mastered from the original sources. 124-page booklet with rare photos and in-depth liner notes and bios. Blues greats like Big Joe Williams, Brownie McGhee, McKinley Morganfield, John Lee Hooker, and Big Bill Broonzy alongside lesser known pickers like William Brown, Alabama Slim, Manny Nichols.
