The A B C of THE BLUES: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

Jerome Douvendahns presents THE A B C of BLUES Pt 3.
In this series of podcast specials Jerome delves into the archives and initiates the A B C of blues.

He goes through the alphabet and for each letter selects artists whose names starts with that letter, artists who in some way are indicative of primary aspects of the blues genre and plays a significant blues recording by those particular artists. This fascinating historical perspective presents some known and little known musicians and some rare and obscure recordings.
