First appearing in the fields of the southern United States, blues rapidly evolved thanks to the diversity of voices and instrumentalists. This compilation album brings to light a vast range of styles, featuring some of the most essential bluesmen of the early 20th century and the post-war years. With some forty tracks, Blues Greats features masters such as Leadbelly, Robert Johnson, Charley Patton, Bessie Smith, Muddy Waters, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Jimmie Rodgers, Blind Blake, Memphis Minnie, Sonny Boy Williamson, Big Bill Broonzy, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, T-Bone Walker and Sonny Terry. This large, eclectic and mainly acoustic selection allows us to appreciate the various evolutions of blues and its geographical mutations. Timeless. © Marc Zisman/Qobuz
