ABOUT THE ALBUM
Before there was the bluesman there was the songster and it was these travelling troubadours who helped lay the foundations for the development of the blues. In the decades preceding the phonograph and radio and before the American national entertainment industry had reached into the deepest parts of the South, it was these wandering musicians who provided the musical entertainment for all manner of social events. In order to be able to scrape a living together the songster had to be incredibly versatile and come up with something for everyone.
