We’re counting on you! http://tinyurl.com/gter36s It all started in 1969 when two Blues enthusiasts, Frank Scott and Bruce Bromberg, took an extensive journey through the tape vaults at Modern Records, and compiled a series of albums — twelve in all — entitled the Anthology of the Blues. To a large extent, the series was based upon Joe Bihari's legendary field recordings made in the mid and deep south in the late 1940s and early 1950s, in places such as Atlanta, Memphis, Greenville, Little Rock, Clarksdale, and others. With the help of a young talent scout, Ike Turner, Joe Bihari made some of the most definitive down home Blues recordings in the post-war era. In this program, part one of three, we pay tribute to Joe Bihari, the down home field recordings he made with Ike Turner, and the series of albums that came out in 1969, the Anthology of the Blues, which collected that material for the very first time. Part one aims the spotlight on the volumes devoted to Memphis and Mississippi, along with a handful of tracks from the LP devoted to the Deep South, plus some additional titles by Elmore James and Lightnin' Hopkins (who, as part of the series, also had LPs of their own).
