5cd Blind Lemon Jefferson Texas Blues charly
Blind Lemon Jefferson was the first bluesman to gain real commercial success and in a recording career of just five years from 1925 to 1929 laid the foundations of much of what was to follow in the history of the Blues.
 
Here we feature no less than 95 tracks by Jefferson representing over five hours of classic Texas Blues. Also this five disc set is rounded off by 18 tracks from three lesser known but talented contemporary Texan bluesmen. 
 
The five  discs are included in individual card wallets in a deluxe box which includes a definitive 28 page booklet including  an exhaustive history and track details. All this for the price of a single full-price CD.
