As a companion to my review of Robert Palmer’s book Deep Blues, I present part two of two playlists. Check out the first part via this link. This playlist features music from Chicago and early Electric Blues artists including a few connections to early Rock N Roll and R&B. The playlist is in pseudo chronological order tempered by what order they were covered in the book or perceived stylistic connections.

As a companion to my review of Robert Palmer’s book Deep Blues, I present part one of two playlists. Check out the second part via this link. This playlist features music from the very earliest Delta and Country Blues artists with just a peak at the connection to Chicago. The playlist is in pseudo chronological order tempered by what order they were covered in the book or perceived stylistic connections.
