Description

Chicago has all the time had a reputation as a ”wide open the town” with a high tolerance for gangsters, illegal liquor, and crooked politicians. It has also been the house for countless black musicians and the birthplace of a distinctly urban blues—more sophisticated, cynical, and street-smart than the anguished songs of the Mississippi delta—a music referred to as the Chicago blues. That is the history of that music and the handfuls of black artists who congregated at the South and Near West Sides. Muddy Waters, Big Bill Broonzy, Howlin’ Wolf, Elmore James, Tampa Red, Little Walter, Jimmy Reed, Otis Rush, Sonny Boy Williamson, Junior Wells, Eddie Taylor—all of these giants played during the town and created a musical style that had imitators and influence all over the place the world.
