Description by OLDIES.com:

There was never really a singular style or movement of blues music that characterised New York - the city was simply a hotbed of varied musical activity - and this 48-track 2-CD snapshot of the blues and R&B that was being played there in the post-war pre-rock 'n' roll era demonstrates the variety and creativity of the music. It features some well-known names who went on to play a major role in the blues revival of the '60s and beyond - Brownie McGhee, Sonny Terry, Champion Jack Dupree and the like
