Louise Brown

Die ultimative Blues Kollektion vom Mississippi bis in die Metropolen. In dieser Box befinden sich die Aufnahmen von 100 legendaren Bines Grossen. Die Stile, die Ausstrahlung, die Geschichten und naturlich die geniale Ausubung ihrer Kunst machten sie einzigartig und beeinflussten Generationen nachfolgender Kunstler. Die altesten Mitglieder wurden Ende des 19ten Jahrhunderts geboren, die jungsten unter ihnen spielen noch heute live in ausverkauften Hausern. Die Musik in dieser Box wird Sie befliueln oder erden, zum Tanzen oder Weinen bewegen. Egal oh Zweisamkeit oder in einsamen Stunden: eines ist sicher: Der Blues lebt weiter!
