Notes: "While rightly considered the true father of modern blues, Walker's career as a Blues performer was far more broadly comprehensive than just that--as if that alone were not enough--encompassing virtually every major development in black folk-based popular music of the 20th century."

T-BONE BLUES

Atlantic Jazz     1972 / 1989

Notes: "That the Blues are the wellspring of Jazz has never been better illustrated than in recent years when almost to a man the ranks of Jazz turned again to the Blues for inspiration.  Not today's rock 'n roll, but the deeper Rhythm & Blues and country Blues singing of such men as Champion Jack Dupree, Muddy Waters and Lighting Hopkins, is a direct and living link to the Blues-singing wanderers who first spread this music throughout the South."
