Summary: Written by Robert M. Baker
The
history of the blues is more than a musical chronology. The blues was
born the day the West African shoreline fell from the horizon. It was
raised amid the institutionalized savagery of the Deep South and
flourished in the dark heart of America's largest cities. We owe the
blues to those who bore the pain of enslavement behind the frightful
shadows of our collective soul.

Jetpak: Hayseed Dixie
http://www.jeteye.com/jetpak/e21850cc-3b33-1029-86c1-00304880af2fSummary: I once had the pleasure of seeing this band live at the Cambridge folk festival 2005 and have been hooked ever since. A unique ‘Rockgrass’ band of banjo playing Hillbillies they’ve made coverers of many songs, some more commonly known than othersin their own mountain / bluegrass style - with fiddle, mandolin, banjo and such. A fun, interesting guarantied to make you smile and wonderful live!
