  • Description

    The state of Mississippi is the undisputed home of the blues - the single most important source of modern popular music. From the towering influence of Delta legends Charley Patton and Son House to the guitar intricacy of Skip James and Mississippi John Hurt, this collection highlights the remarkable blues legacy of the Magnolia State through these seminal early recordings.



    A classic collection of tracks by artists who laid the foundations for the electric blues and rock explosion to come. Featuring tracks by many Delta blues legends including Son House, Charley Patton and Skip James.



    This Rough Guide also includes many lesser-known gems by artists shrouded in mystery and has been lovingly remastered using pioneering restoration techniques.
