fascinating and highly entertaining exploration of the early roots
of black music in America. This pioneering project depicts the rich
American musical scene that existed throughout the 1800s with classic
performances of ragtime, old modal songs, breakdowns, ballads, religious
music and more. Featured here are great performances by many of
the most legendary names in American music history, and this project
follows the evolution of blues from its early modal precursors and
early fundamentalist religious music. Extensive notes and photos
communicate and exciting sense of discover, and outstanding remastered
sound quality brings these rare old recordings to life. |
