Wartime. Workers are needed in the shipyards of the Pacific Coast and the bluesmen of Texas pack their bags and move to California. Once there, they find themselves side by side with the crooners from "Black Hollywood". The resulting fusion of styles gave birth to the "California blues". Listen to this 2-CD set and travel back to the very sources of this highly original and still very influential style. Includes a 32 page booklet with both French and English notes.
