2011 compilation that celebrates Blues music and the artists who have made a huge impact on the genre. Without the Blues there would be no Rock 'n' Roll, no Rock music nor almost every kind of popular music that's listened to today. The Blues continues to influence contemporary music and has inspired musicians of all generations to embrace its emotion. Jimmy Rogers was born in 1924 and taught himself to play guitar while still a teenager. In 1950 his first record for Chess had Little Walter on harmonica and Muddy Waters on second guitar: backing bands don't get any better!  Jimmy Rogers is remembered for his great contribution to creating the quintessential `Chicago Sound'. Polydor.
