I have found that postings music is a good way to listen to all the music in your collection. I have neglected the ultimate source of much of the music I post. This tread corrects that oversight. All Blues post are welcome. I will concentrate on the Delta.

Leadbelly ALABAMA BOUND with / The Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet: (Willie Johnson, William Langford, Henry Owens and Arlandus Wilson) RCA Heritage Series 1940 / 1989 Notes:"Huddie William Ledbetter was born on January 29, 1885 on Jeter plantation near Mooringsport, Louisiana, the only child of farmer Wesley and part-Cherokee Indian Sally Ledbetter. When Huddie was five, his family moved to nearby Leigh, Texas, and it was while growing up there that the young boy's interest in music began to develop under the encouraging eye of his uncle Terrell, who bought Huddie his first instrument, an accordion."

Little Whitt & Big Bo MOODY SWAMP BLUES Vent Records 1995 Notes: "Little "Whitt" Wells was born on a small farm in Ralph, Alabama on Feb 19th, 1931. "Big Bo" McGee was born on October 9th, 1928 in Mississippi and Alabama!! His house was built on the state-line between Emelle, Alabama, and Porterville, Mississippi: "We would eat breakfast in Alabama and sleep in Mississippi!" he quipped." There is no more impressive Blues Credential than to be Born in, die in, or be Buried in two or more different places.

Robert Jr. Lockwood STEADY ROLLIN' MAN Delmark Records 1970 Notes: "Robert Jr. Lockwood's music shows the influence of not only his stepfather Robert Johnson but also that of Jazz guitarists Charlie Christian and Eddie Durham. By the mid-50s he found himself in the enviable position of being THE studio guitar player in Chicago. He can be heard on classic blues songs like Little Walter's "My Babe" and "Boom, Boom, Out go the lights"; Sonny Boy Williamson's "Nine Below Zero" and "Eyesight to the Blind." He also recorded with Muddy Waters, Otis Spann, Eddie Boyd, Willie Mabon, Sunnyland Slim, Roosevelt Sykes and others. This 1970 session was Robert's first album as a leader!"
