Biography
This fantastic 2 disc set 'Folk Blues Revival' features the complete historic July 1960 recordings made by Blues legends Lightnin' Hopkins, Big Joe Williams, Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry in Los Angeles. Recorded early on during the great Folk and Blues revival that occurred during the 1960s, these artists were all instrumental in bringing the classic Blues style back to the mainstream and bringing Blues music to a new generation of listeners.
These recordings have been issued in several forms over the years, but never in their entirety or with the quality of sound as is featured here. This set contains the live recordings from the Ash Grove, studio recordings, and also features 2 bonus tracks by Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry recorded at the Troubadour in 1961. Presented in a beautifully Digitally Remastered state this album is sure to be enjoyed by any fan of the Country or Folk Blues.
