Skidompha Library's Owl Radio Podcasts

This podcast, the second from Skidompha Owl's friend Mark Addison of Damariscotta Mills, is part of a series that explores Blues music from the Mississippi Delta in the 1920s to Chicago in the 1940s to England and the US in the 1960s and 1970s--to contemporary Blues musicians. This podcast covers blues songs from the 1920s and 1930s performed by a variety of blues musicians from the Mississippi Delta region and other parts of the rural south. It also introduces two Mississippi musicians that would make it big in Chicago, Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf. All Blues from the Summer Room podcasts were edited and compiled and edited by good friend of Skidompha Library, Mark Addison.
