Show 73: The Delta Blues Tradition (Amplified)
This show follows what happened when Delta feeling hit electricity and the juke-joint pulse moved into city rooms, studios, and amplifiers. It documents how the old country language stayed alive even as the guitars got louder, the bands got tighter, and the blues reached new audiences.
