Yep. Where it's at if you want some ba-lues. Splendid job.

[Mercury]

Oh cool. Thanks, Albummaster for randomly selecting my chart.

This took dozens of hours to make. Mostly cuz I had to add most of them to the database and I wanted to write a little synopsis of each album/artist. Anyway, I love this music very much. And I may add a few albums to it. But for now I'm staying put.

Some of the choices are borderline not really deep or country blues but more early urban blues. But I couldn't leave off Memphis Minnie and Leroy Carr etc. so they stayed.

Also I got some great recs on the American Primitive series from Mecca. Also some great recs from Cymro (where's he been) on Robert Wilkins. Thanks you guys!
