The sounds of the Great Depression as sung and played by the generation that actually lived through it and its aftermath, from the inner city streets of Chicago to the Mississippi Delta and the swamps of the south. This is the (incomplete) soundtrack to a bleak era in American history that was bursting with music, with as many names included as possible. Heartbreaking, dark and always painfully honest: these are the blues.
