The A B C of THE BLUES: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

Jerome Douvendahns presents THE A B C of The BLUES.
In this series of podcast specials Jerome delves into the archives and initiates the A B C of blues.

He goes through the alphabet and for each letter selects an artist or two whose name starts with that letter, artists who in some way are indicative of primary aspects of the blues genre and plays a blues recording by that particular artist. This fascinating historical perspective presents some known and little known musicians and some rare and obscure recordings.
