Texas compilation T1 / Blues miscellany B5

Duration: 2:24:49

Double compilation of blues and folk music: side 1 is ‘Texas blues research’ compilation T1 (presumably compiled by Mack McCormick), including various folk styles in fragmentary excerpts; side 2 is ‘blues miscellany’ B5. Note that the first part of side 1 appears to have been recorded at a different speed, and therefore sounds slowed down in the digitised version.
