Description
This Rough Guide traces the development of the Texas blues during its 1920s/30s heyday and features many blues legends including Blind Lemon Jefferson, Leadbelly, Blind Willie Johnson & T-Bone Walker - plus the slide guitar wizardry of blues pioneers Black Ace, Oscar Woods & Ramblin' Thomas and classic tracks by blues divas Victoria Spivey and Bessie Tucker.
Texas is without doubt one of the quintessential musical melting pots of the US, and whilst Mississippi receives most of the credit for creating the blues, Texas is where many of the earliest blues pioneers lived and played. Although equally poignant and direct as the Delta style, the Texas blues was fundamentally less raw and rudimentary with guitarists typically incorporating more sophisticated and varied guitar accompaniments from verse to verse.
