Another didactical record to discover the two blues aspects that were the basis of San Francisco blues school The first one presents musicians coming from rural areas who migrated to the city during the forties, such as Lowell Fulson, KC Douglas, Mercy Dee, Johnny Fuller or Walter Robinson, whose deep influence was down home blues The second one brings us a series of musicians who followed Lafayette Thomas guitar playing technique, like Jimmy Wilson, James Reed, Jimmy McCraklin, Johnny Parker and even Lafayette Thomas himself, who created his own personal style combining jazz music phrasing with and extreme good taste and subtle expressiveness
