Blues Meets Doo Wop Vol 1.

Description

Doo-wop is not just for Christmas. A genre often associated with the festive period, and synonymous with a picture book setting of Christmas, given the radiating warmth of harmonious vocals from a truly gifted combo. A false representation however, because doo-wop is music fit for any occasion. Doo-wop also has the ability to portray melancholy, whether due to economic hardships or relationship woes. It's in these moments where we all feel something, and there is no genre better equipped with the right utensils (i.e. Vocals) to convey such emotions, in addition to providing solace from the difficulties that life has a tendency to produce. The genre of doo-wop makes numerous connections with the genre of blues during Blues Meets Doo Wop Volume 1. Tracks>> 01.
