Volume 174: Birth of the Blues Record 2 Spinning My Dad’s Vinyl
-
- Music History
One of the box sets that goes almost ignored is on the bottom row of my dad’s collection. It has a somewhat misleading title, but it includes some of the most classic standards in music.
Once again, we have no record of the musicians, the arrangers, the conductor or conductors, just that the box set is part of a much larger series put out by a company who produced radio shows…and hocked watches.
The title definitely doesn’t prepare you for the instrumentation used to perform this classic music, but it definitely grows on you.
So, get ready to hear tunes originating from the roots of American music in Volume 174: Birth of the Blues Record 2.
More information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.
