Blues music has always dealt with issues that everyone can identify with, whether they be economic, social or political in nature. The immediate post-war period provided much fuel for Blues artists of the day – the civil rights situation, the atom bomb, the Cold War, Korea and of course the Republican victory in 1956. It’s no coincidence that some of the best blues songs ever waxed were recorded during President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s administration (1952 - 1960) including one that was actually named after him. We are happy to present this collection of classic Blues from the era including the original version of "Eisenhower Blues" by the great J.B. Lenoir.
