Although not as well known as other locales famous for their Blues -- such as New Orleans, Chicago, or Memphis -- the Motor City had plenty of talented songwriters and Blues musicians.  It's just that, for the most part, the record labels that operated out of Detroit were either local labels that had little or no distribution, and/or quite often lacked proper 'hi-fi' recording equipment. In spite of these odds, however, some of Detroit's finest Blues musicians did manage to find their way into a recording studio -- some of which were no more than a tape recorder and a mic or two in a back room behind someone's store -- to make some of the finest Blues of the Post-War era that we can think of. Rare, classic and legendary performances from L.C. Green, Baby Boy Warren, Eddie Burns, Walter Mitchell, Robert Henry, Eddie Kirkland, Detroit Count, and many more.
