Actually, that's not the cover photo. It's just an album cover. LCP is still putting together the artwork. But it is pretty cool.

The cover photo is great! I lived out of state for many years and when I came back in 1994 I was somewhat surprised to find that young black people were listening to XRT or hiphop and not into the Blues at all. While I agree that "just cause you got the blues don't mean you got to sing" I was saddened by this. I think KH is right on regarding the impact social mores have on music.

It's actually a series of volumes I've got two or three of them.

It's a record called...well, you can see it there. Off of the Vanguard label in 1965. Check Dusty Groove America for a reprint.

I need to know where I can find that record you used for the newsgraphic, if not just for the cover photo!
