After a long time of negotiating, I found a blues veteran willing to write a weekly post for Bobtje's Blues Pages about some essential blues recordings that every serious blueslover should have on his (or her) shelf. Attention: it is a personal opinion, you might have another. In total he'll will talk about 250 names, one each week which means that he'll be busy for a couple of years. Starters will be happy to get some good advices, the blues connoisseur is invited to add a title, to remove another or simply to add some extra information by using the comment function. We don't claim to know it all, neither to preach the gospel. Exploring Planet Blues becomes Exploring History Blues in this section, a search for the devil's rhythms in the head of Blue Papa. We'll start tomorrow, on Bobtje's Blues Pages!
