Blues recording companies come and go, but very few last as long as Delmark. Delmark has been around 55 years and some of the best of Chicago blues have recorded for Bob Koester. This anniversary release Delmark: 55 Years Of Blues showcases some of the great artists who recorded there. Trying to give you a blow by blow account of whats on this CD doesn't do it justice, you just need to buy it. It really doesn't matter if you are new to blues, or are an old timer this disc is a must have, because it is not only some of the best audio recordings, but it is also a DVD! Mr Koester must have been feeling really gracious when he put this package together, because it also has a full DVD collection of the best of the Delmark video releases. I have reviewed a few of the DVD releases and they are a treat, so getting a best of DVD with this CD was a nice touch. You can order this ultra cool collection on line HERE, or you can actually stop by the store at 4121 N Rockwell in Chicago Illinois.

HOLY COW! TWO YEARS!!!!!!!
This caught me by surprise, but today is the second anniversary of the Blues Historian website! It almost slipped right by me! YIKES! I just want to say thanks to the hundreds of blues fans who stop by here on a daily basis. The growth of this blog has been amazing and I am humbled by all of the support!
The blog started off as a way to teach blues history to my college students, but now it is more a blues news gathering site. I always hope that once the school year is over I can devote more time to posting videos, and more original content. Yet, once summer starts it is summer school! It never ends:-)
Thanks for sticking with me, and if you are new please stay around! Let have another great year and thanks for stopping by!
