Essential Delta Blues 180G 2 LP Vinyl Record  

2LP SET -VINYL

FACTORY SEALED

Never underestimate the power of music to capture human emotion and raise Despite the freedom gained in the American Civil War, most African-Americans had seen little change in their living conditions by the beginning of the 20th Century. Ironically, it would take another conflict to change the outlook. The First World War created jobs for unskilled workers in the North and many took the opportunity to escape the cloying restrictions of the South. The unsophisticated sounds of the country were no longer relevant to their lifestyles and the music changed accordingly. Without the blues there would have been no rock 'n' roll, and this generous compilation is nothing less than the roots of that revolution.
