Description

Blues music has always dealt with issues that everyone can identify with, whether they be economic, social or political in nature. The immediate post-war period provided much fuel for Blues artists of the day â€“ the civil rights situation, the atom bomb, the Cold War, Korea and of course the Republican victory in 1956. Itâ€™s no coincidence that some of the best blues songs ever waxed were recorded during President Dwight D. Eisenhowerâ€™s administration (1952 - 1960) including one that was actually named after him.
