Before the blues? If you take Webster's first definition--"Low spirits: melancholy"--well, then we're not talking pre-W.C. Handy. We're going back to Eve and the Apple. But, for Yazoo's three-disc Before the Blues series, it's safe to assume the anthologists worked off of the second definition: "A song of lamentation characterized by 12-bar phrases [and] 3-line stanzas in which the words of the second stanza repeat those of the first, and continual occurrence of blues hones in melody and harmony." That works. The 23-song first set in the series offers up a vastly entertaining assortment of rags, breakdowns, and shuffles. Some names may ring a bell with noncollectors (Henry Thomas, Mississippi John Hurt), and a few tunes have become a part of America's musical landscape (notably the eerie "Pretty Polly"). Most of what's found here, however, is unfamiliar, and fascinating.

pass??
Üstad benim kotasız internet dükkanda oluyor o yüzden böyle şeyleri haftasonu indiriyorum.Buraya koyduklarından 3-5 tane güzel önersen de ben de yumulsam fena olmaz :D
esasında böyle bir seçim yapmak çok zor olur benim için, çoğu albümü dinleyerek begenerek yada ilginç bularak paylaşıyoruz. Bir Çok albüm arasından birkaçını seçiyoruz. Son yüklenenlerden Omar Sosa, Nina Pastori, Ray Charles, Jazzamor, Loyko, ilgini çekebilir. Amazondan da albüm hakkında bilgilere bakarasan daha iyi olur. orda da genelde geniş açıklamalı bilgiler ve yorumlar yer alıyor.
