It also boasts a History of Jazz section, which starts with the roots of jazz and goes all the way through to today's fusion and straight jazz revival musicians. If you know nothing about jazz, this is a good place to start. It has a good search engine, pull-down menus for easy navigation, and a bulletin board for jazz enthusiasts to talk about mutual interests. And, of course, you can listen to sound clips, both of music and of the musicians. In language and attitude, this site strikes a somewhat unconventional pose, but for the blues, it works.
Sound files are available for a sampling of each artist's work.
Roughstock makes a solid contribution to spreading understanding of country music on the World Wide Web. Like the other sites reviewed here, it boasts a musical history.
