The Alan Lomax Archive is proud to announce Rounder Records reissue of the historic Blues in the Mississippi Night. A pivotal document of pre-civil rights America, this is the story of the blues from the mouths of three legendary bluesmen - Big Bill Broonzy, Memphis Slim, and Sonny Boy Williamson. The album was so controversial that its release was delayed 13 years, finally released by United Artists in 1959. Out of print for over a decade, this CD includes the highly collectable original album, mastered to 24-bit digital, and includes extensive new liner notes.
