Playlist Description

Direct from the Blind Pig's mouth (BlindPigRecords.com):

"From our humble beginnings in the basement of an Ann Arbor, Michigan blues club in 1977, Blind Pig Records has grown into one of the premier blues labels in the world... Incredible performances and the enthusiasm of the audiences led to the notion of recording this memorable music and presenting it to fans beyond the confines of this legendary club."

This playlist includes artists associated with the label. Please note that in the case of Steve Miller Band, the song was included because of the hand harp performance by Blind Pig artist Norton Buffalo. Similarly, the Big Mama Mae Thornton rendition of "Rock Me" is included because of Pinetop Perkins' work on the piano, and Willie Dixon is found here on account of Walter Horton's harmonica.
