Our Take

Ah, The Kings Of The Delta Blues, a reverent homage to the pioneers of a truly soul-stirring genre. This compilation album takes us on a journey through the roots of blues music, capturing the raw emotion and gritty authenticity that defined the Mississippi Delta sound.

Each track is a testament to the talent and influence of blues legends such as Robert Johnson, Son House, and Skip James. From the haunting wails of Johnson's "Hell Hound on My Trail" to the impassioned cries of House's "Death Letter Blues," every song on this album is a masterclass in storytelling and musical prowess.

The production on The Kings Of The Delta Blues is top-notch, capturing the essence of each original recording while breathing new life into these timeless classics. The remastered tracks sound crisp and vibrant, allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of sound that defined the Delta blues scene.

While some may argue that compilations like this can never truly capture the raw energy of a live performance, The Kings Of The Delta Blues does a commendable job of transporting listeners to a smoky juke joint in the heart of Mississippi. So, grab a glass of whiskey, dim the lights, and let the hypnotic rhythms of these timeless tunes wash over you. This album is a must-listen for any fan of blues music, and a worthy addition to any music collection.
