Best of Blues 2 Big Bill Broonzy

Mississippi-born William Broonzy settled in Chicago in the late 1920s and quickly became a key member of the newly urbanised blues industry that town helped spawn. Like many others who adopted Chicago as home, Broonzy spent part of his youth as a sharecropper (he was based in Little Rock, Arkansas), playing guitar and singing during his precious rest times.
