A fascinating 4cd 100 song compilation devoted to the various themes of sin and wrongdoing-Gambling-Alcohol-Coke and in-Prison-Death. With artists such as Blind Lemon Jefferson, Tampa Red and Blind Willie McTell. The early Country Blues and more urban hokum Blues was terrific music which has had a massive musical influence over the years. But the artists were singing too-some very crafty and subtle lyrics (and some rather direct as well?) on contemporary social themes. Their lyrical artistry is exposed here. These are people with a message and a message that travels down the years.
