Summary

A self-described "song-hunter," the folklorist Alan Lomax traveled the Mississippi Delta in the 1930¿s and '40s, armed with primitive recording equipment and a keen love of the Delta¿s music heritage. Crisscrossing the towns and hamlets where the blues began, Lomax gave voice to such greats as Leadbelly, Fred MacDowell, Muddy Waters, and many others, all of whom made their debut recordings with him. The Land Where the Blues Began captures the irrepressible energy of soul of people who changed American musical history.
