This looks amazing. I love this post-war era because there's so much energy and so much going on in jazz, blues, country, pop -- a lot of it headed toward convergence in "rock 'n' roll."
If I was going to add one person, it would be T-Bone Walker. Maybe "The Hustle Is On." The first time I heard him, it was like, oh, this is where Chuck Berry learned to play guitar.

The intro of "Water Baby Blues" by the Maddox Brothers & Rose sounds kind of like the Beatles' "Revolution"!

Spotify's shitstorm of lapsed copyrights
that's a book, or an EMP presentation, waiting to happen.

so good, having a great time starring my faves as i listen through. i always knew john lee hooker was a legend but hadn't really focused on him til it appeared here early on. holy moly 'rollin' blues', whoa now, that's an incredible performance, the sound of the stomping on the floor is electrifying

this playlist was what made me subscribe to Spotify and we listened to it for hours last weekend as my 84-year-old father-in-law had his moving party with all his friends from years past. thanks so much for making this one, a true joy.

Even more so. Pixie Williams represent! It's not the easiest finding documentation on NZ stuff from this era, eh ...
