Shake 'Em On Down – Great Out of Print Records II (Bluesville):
From 1949 through 1971, Prestige Records, owned and run by Bob Weinstock, was among the most famous and successful of the independent jazz labels. By the late 50's the company was looking to branch out and new categories were created within the Prestige catalog. There was the Folklore series, there was Moodsville, Swingsville and then there was Bluesville. The bulk of of Bluesville's catalog has been issued on CD except for a handful of excellent records we spotlight today.
