Alan Lomax - Alan Lomax: Blues Songbook (Audio CD - 2003) [2-Disc Set]

From 1933-1985, Alan Lomax gathered field-recorded examples of African-American song forms, most of which ended up in the expansive Library of Congress American folk music collection. This two-disc collection selects some of the best of these into a single package and the result is a wonderful and indispensable journey through the blues.
