180-Gram Vinyl Limited Edition - * Down Beat Big Bill Broonzy was among the finest and most influential of the pre-World War II Chicago bluesmen, bringing the blues to new levels of sophistication. A finger picker and singer without compare, Broonzy combined ragtime and hokum blues with elements of folk, country and urban sounds in his songs. Big Bill's Blues consists of ten solo recordings made in February 1956 at Philips' studios in Baarn, Holland. Although Broonzy, who died of throat cancer in 1958, was likely not in peak physical shape by this time, you wouldn't suspect that from the quality of the performances. Includes the classic "Key to the Highway". 180-gram VIRGIN VINYL LIMITED EDITION. The Complete album + 1 BONUS TRACK.
