Blues From The Windy City (Chicago In Transition 1946-1952)
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1976 compilation. Strong VG++ vinyl. The album leans more toward the pre-Chess and transitional postwar Chicago scene, documenting the years when Southern blues musicians were adapting to urban Chicago but before the fully electrified Muddy Waters and Little Walter era became dominant. The emphasis is on piano blues, small-combo blues, and early amplified performances rather than the harmonica-driven Chicago sound most collectors associate with the 1950s.
