COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Good Introduction submitted by Meginator on June 26, 2017, 9:21am This is a good introduction to the genre of harmonica-driven blues music. The tracks run the gamut from a man and a harmonica to full bands. Some of the songs were familiar to me, but not with this instrumentation. My only complaint was that all of the performers were male, but that may be a symptom of the culture rather than an omission by the Smithsonian.
