"O BLUES, WHERE ART THOU?"

The legendary producer Bobby Shad once stated, “In recording these blues artists, it gave me an opportunity to receive an education that couldn’t be found in any book.” At the time, Bobby Shad recorded a group of artists that would go on to become blues legends. These recordings were made in 1951 and, up until recently, were considered “the lost tapes”. Fortunately for us, these tapes have been found and they are now being presented for the first time on compact disc to a whole new generation of blues enthusiasts.
