The Many Sounds of the Blues
While the blues haven’t been around as long as some other forms of music, the history of the blues is a rich and fascinating story. Some say that the Blues originated from mysticism surrounding the Indigo plant which was used in West African cultures during death and mourning ceremonies. There is also a legend that Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil at Crossroads to achieve his success and become King of the Delta Blues.

RECORD STORE DAY IS SOCIAL DISTANCING!
2020 is different. So what we're doing this year is going to be different too.
No one knows what kind of party we'll all be in the mood for, or able to hold safely, at any time this year, in any part of the world. So we're focusing this year not on the party aspect of Record Store Day, but on getting the great releases on the RSD 2020 List into your local record store, and then into your collection.
RSD DROPS! Three street dates when titles from The List will be available only at participating indie record stores. We're working on getting the new version of The List -- with new RSD Drops dates -- all nice and pretty for you. Look for that on the Record Store Day site on June 1.

Some are well known, others are true gems. Here's a selection of some of the finest Dutch artists from that era and their albums.
What is your favorite Dutch artist?
