Barbecue Any Old Time: Blues Pit 1927-1942 / Var Barbecue Any Old Time: Blues Pit 1927-1942 / Var CD

Blues and barbecue are natural companions, both saturated with down-home flavor. Here are 24 tracks of vintage blues that celebrate the joys of eating meat, with plenty of sly nods to other sensual pleasures. Artists include Frankie "Half Pint" Jaxon, Charlie Campbell & His Red Peppers, Blind Boy Fuller, Memphis Minnie, Barbecue Bob, and many more. A 20-page, full-color booklet chronicles the spread of blues and barbecue across America, complete with rare photographs, song descriptions, and a full discography. As Barbecue Bob would say, "These blues are sure cooked to a turn! Anybody who likes the real thing in blues is in for a feast this time!"
