27 original all-time classic blues tracks from the likes of Muddy Waters, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, Etta James and many others. Musical genres evolve over time and give birth to new and different styles. The blues has a vast and turbulent history that stretches back centuries. It has also given birth to some of the biggest musical trends of the 20th century. Exemplified by the work of Elvis Presley, Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones, among many other music giants, the "archival" interest in the blues only served to increase the amount of influence these great blues songs had on rock music. All the remastered gems on this collection represent a formidable slice of African-American culture, allowing listeners to experience the real source of 'Blues Power'.
