We start off with the blues—Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Little Junior Parker, Johnnie Jones and Ray Charles. Then we do some experimental, Brazilian-based music with Nina Miranda and Cibelle. We close with Taj Mahal and The Pointer Sisters. Artists working out of a roots tradition, some as originators, some as re-creators, some as experimenters but all with a strong sense of self expression.
