BLUES

Every day, we have the blues. Thousands of recordings,
covering the entire spectrum of vintage blues; from the very first
blues record to be made, to the electric blues of the 1940’s and on.
From the well-known to the obscure. Here you will find the full
recorded works of nearly every blues artist to record during the
Halcion days of the “pre-war” period.
Gospel

“Up Above My Head I Hear Music In The Air” (Sister Rosetta
Tharpe & Mary Knight)

Part of the roots of Soul Music; from the earliest recorded
Spirituals from the late 19th century through to
the Reverends and their Congregations of the 1920’s and
on to the Vocal Groups of the 30’s and 40’s and the huge
Gospel sound of the 40’s and 50’s.
JAZZ

“The World's Jazz Crazy And So Am I” (Ma Rainey) Ma’s not
on her own and there’s plenty here to keep her
and her fellow jazz fans happy. From the earliest recordings
through to the revival of the ‘40s. From New Orleans to Chicago
and all in between.
OLD-TIMEY

Ballads, Blues, Rags, Reels Jigs and Waltzes. Fiddles,
banjos and guitars aplenty bringing tales of railroads,
courtin’, rye, huntin’, heroes, villains, “pictures from life’s
other side” and so much more. The roots of Country, Western
Swing and Rockabilly.
