Folk magazine about the present and the past, from freak folk to minstrels. This time, attention for the blues which was moved by the spirit, or the other way around. In this episode, a clear path for old blues codgers like John Lee Hooker and Lightning Hopkins, the more experimental sounds of Les Paul and Alice Coltrane, the psychedelic approach of The Moody Blues, David Bowie and Syd Barrett, and the more gospel-like gems by Elvis Presley and Don McLean.
It is indeed a hotchpotch of blues through the years, but everything is moved by something like the Holy Spirit.
