Leroy was highly respected in his short life(died at 30), with the likes of Nat King Cole stylising their voice on his crooning style.
These recordings are obviously old as he died in the 30's so heavy noise reduction is in place. Still, the sound is acceptable
Another golden oldie now.. Henry Thomas.

Henry played Texas blues and accompanied himself with homemade panpipes, that were called quills.
Various modern stars were influenced by him, including Taj Mahal and Bob Dylan.
Move on a few decades to 1970 and BB King with this.

Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell.
Interesting the dates on cover as leroy died in '35.
Might be posthumous releases of course.
They were extremely popular right through the depression era.
Now, the great T-Bone Walker. Kinda started the electric blues etc. You can hear chuck Berry (who he taught to play behind back etc)in there, whom he and a few thousand others copied including Hendrix, who he taught to play with teeth.

Big Joe Williams...hand me down my old walking stick. a vinyl rip from an old record..not too bad either
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...20ce60df25.jpg
Recorded in london in october '68.
Blues historian Barry Lee Pearson said when I saw him playing at Mike Bloomfield's "blues night" at the Fickle Pickle, Williams was playing an electric nine-string guitar through a small ramshackle amp with a pie plate nailed to it and a beer can dangling against that. When he played, everything rattled but Big Joe himself. The total effect of this incredible apparatus produced the most buzzing, sizzling, African-sounding music I have ever heard.
Muddy Waters..best of.

Muddy Waters...The Chess Box Disc1
https://images.eil.com/large_image/M...BOX-360163.jpg
a bit more modern now with disc 3 of the Howlin' Wolf chess box..60's I'd guess. The earlier Muddy one was late 40's to early 50's
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/6LoAA...nIg/s-l640.jpg
With a booming voice and imposing physical presence, he is one of the best-known Chicago blues artists. The musician and critic Cub Koda noted, "no one could match Howlin' Wolf for the singular ability to rock the house down to the foundation while simultaneously scaring its patrons out of its wits.
A large man who stood at 1.98 metres tall and weighed nearly three hundred pounds, Howlin' Wolf cut an imposing figure, which he utilized to maximum effect when performing
A great Blues Rock album

Great singer, but these recordings do originate from 49/52, so 70 years old.
These are the remastered vinyl with second record of alternates.
Worth getting as she was classed in same bracket as Billie Holiday etc.
Big Joe Williams..blues on highway 49.

Robert Maxwell.

Was signed to Chess at about same time as Muddy, but wasnt as marketable, the rest is history.
More of a busker mentality and liked to go walkabout.
Recorded by Norman Dayron live on the street (you can actually hear cars driving by!) in 1964 with just Robert Whitehead on drums and Johnny Young on rhythm guitar, Robert Nighthawk's slide playing is nothing short of elegant and explosive.
Eddie Boyd with Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac...7936 South Rhodes.
