The fourth in what will be a long series of mixtape posts. This is 'Side B' of the Blues cassette, and is Electric Blues. It's a wierd distinction, since a couple folks here aren't really 'Electric' in the usual sense: Lightnin' Hopkins and Jessie Mae Hemphill are only nominally plugged in... but since Muddy Waters was featured on the Acoustic Blues disc, it's only fair. Anyhow, it's all great music, hopefully put in an enjoyable order.
Two Howlin' Wolf songs, not because there's any shortage of awesome artists to feature, but because I love Howlin' Wolf so much that it really seemed like the best way to ensure a good listen...
Obligatory Explanation (in case you can't be bothered to read the previous posts):
These mixes were originally put together for a teenager, so the content is designed to do a little educatin' and a little mind-blowin'.
They were formatted to fit on cassette, so each 'side' will be around 42 minutes.
Most of them are genre-specific, and sort of strike a balance between trying to cover the bases in that genre (i.e. reflecting the 'great artists' in the canon), and reflecting my taste (which is erratic, mystically-oriented, and limited by ignorance), and fitting well together. Occasionally this leads to odd results. But I think they're good listening.
