Comment:

Not a masterpiece or anything, due to my relatively small blues collection. Although I used to own various things by Charley Patton, Blind Lemon Jefferson, The Rev. Gary Davis, and John Lee Hooker (plus a few other blues giants that I might be forgetting), I apparently forgot to CDR their material before selling them off, much to my chagrin. At any rate, I suppose you could say that this mix was "inspired" by the PBS blues documentary that was airing last week, at least to the extent that Jen was asking me questions about some of these guys and it rekindled my interest in them. I admit that it's entirely possible that several of my selections were influenced by the fact that bands like the White Stripes, Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin covered the songs.
