Well we might as well start at the very beginning,  yes the blues was old before 1920 but this is considered to be the first blues on record by history buffs like myself.

Crazy Blues Mamie Smith 1920

As we all know this music influensed Jimmie Rodgers,  The Carter Family who influensed.....and so it went the evolution of Big Band,  Country, Rock and Roll all can be traced back to those southern cotton fields.

No no not just a bunch of old timey music,  a nice mix of old and new.
