The Blues


I’ll admit it, I’ve been shopping, again! And doing a little updating of the bluesier elements of my record collection. Mostly by adding a live version of Hound Dog, by Big Mama Thornton, which was nice to get hold of, and great to hear.

And Billie Holiday’s original cut of “Strange Fruit”. Which is surely one of the scariest things I think I’ve ever heard. And, given the subject matter, very relevant, after all these years.
