Goin’ Back in Time – Blues Videos
Looking to experience the true delta blues?
Of course, not everyone has the opportunity to travel to the delta, or to truly experience it first hand – the life and times of blues artists in Mississippi.
Here I have compiled 3 must see videos, recorded in the 60′s and 70′s of blues artists of the current time. All of the videos are a decent length, and definitely worth viewing. So sit back, relax, and enjoy some true Delta blues.
