WPA Rag . .Big Bill Broonzy and Tampa Red in the 1930's with the Chicago Five and others . . This style is often called the "Bluebird Blues" because of the sound being associated with hundreds of records on Bluebird in the 1930's and early 40's.  Broonzy and Tampa Red were seasoned recording stars from the 1920's on and here adapt nicely to swing, with great contributions from Punch Miller, Bill Owsley and Buster Bennett. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-clark49/support
