Newport Folk Festival: Best of the Blues 1959-1968
: :These three CDs document some of the greatest moments of culture shock in American music. Most of the bluesmen who first came to Newport had never played before audiences so attentive, large, or white. And those listening had never experienced anything like Skip James's blood-chilling whine, Reverend Gary Davis's furious testifying, or Mississippi John Hurt's twirling melodies. Most of the audience, in fact, assumed the bluesmen were dead. As a cinematic sweep of just what made those countercultural gatherings so exciting and diverse, this set ...

Louis Jordan & His Tympani Five
: :Think five discs and 131 songs is too much Louis Jordan? Not a chance.

In Progress & in Motion: 1965-1998
