The old LP called BLUES IN THE MISSISSIPPI NIGHT (on United Artist I think) was issued on cassette and is now on CD I've been told. On that old LP record from the 1960s, taken from Alan Lomax's tapes and including a lot of that "straight talk", the names of the participants were nowhere to be found. It was too dangerous then to speak openly and sign your real name to it. Some of us in Chicago then recognized the voices of Bill Broonzy and Memphis Slim. On the notes to the cassette and the CD re-issue all of the speakers are fully indentified.

Of course those days when we must hide are gone FOREVER. Here at Mudcat we all use our real names.    ;-)
