Description
Paul Oliver's Barrelhouse Blues uncovers the forgotten folk traditions that gave birth to America's blues music. In the 1920s, street singers and musicians from juke joints and work camps were brought together by record companies to capture their performances in makeshift studios.
The result is a unique collection of recordings that would have otherwise been lost to history. Oliver, a leading expert on the subject, carefully excavates these early blues recordings, shedding new light on the music's origins and evolution.
