Product Review:
Super copy!
A 1977 UK compilation on Magpie Records drawing on piano blues recordings cut for Paramount between 1929 and 1930, sourced from the Francis Wilford-Smith 78 collection. Sessions span Richmond, Chicago, and Grafton, capturing artists including Henry Brown. Tracks like Forty-Four Blues and Vicksburg Blues represent the raw regional piano blues styles circulating before the Depression reshaped the genre.
