Blue Ant Media - Cities in Blue (2013) Part 1 Chicago

Cities in Blue takes you on an essential American music tour, with a focus on one of the country’s most iconic styles The Blues. You’ll make a stop at every key city in Blues’ history—from New Orleans, Mississippi, Memphis, and Austin, to Piedmont, Kansas, Chicago, and New York. Distinguish between the raw, honest “call and response” blues born in the Deep South the polished sound performed to audiences in the city—it’s a journey through a much celebrated and storied genre.
