While I got to watch a lot of North Carolina music history unfold in real time, a great deal of it happened before I was born.
Fortunately, when it came to Piedmont blues, I had the work of English folklorist Bruce Bastin to draw on. With Cryin’ for the Carolinas and its 1986 companion volume Red River Blues: The Blues Tradition in the Southeast, Bastin gives an essential portrait of the 1930s vintage scene in Durham, North Carolina.
A large cast of iconic blues musicians, many of them disabled, got by busking in and around the city’s tobacco warehouses back…
From David's list on music to come out of North Carolina.
