Blues

The ASU Music Library has an excellent selection of blues music from the 20th century, including box sets and individual CDs of a wide selection of artists, as well as general anthologies. Try a subject search on " blues music " for CDs at ASU and books in the general WNCLN system.

For several performers (highlighted in italics below), we have enough materials for a more in-depth study. For the others, we have at least one recording.
