With its DNA rooted in Africa, Blues music evolved from acoustic Mississippi sounds to electric Chicago riffs. The Rough Guide to Blues Revival sees today's leading artists embrace that spirit to prove that the blues will never die. Also included is a bonus CD by Malian bluesman, Samba Touré, who travelled the world with the great Ali Farka Touré, his musical mentor, discovering new musical influences, which inspired him to create his own unique genre of blues.
