The real crime is how these original artists were treated. Don' talk about royalites not received now. Most NEVER received any royalties. $5 or $10 or $20 (maybe!) to record a song and then the music company owned the rights and the artist never saw another dime.
But I've loved blues since I got my first B B King album when I was 8 or 9.
THIS is the good stuff.
