Blues Archive

The Blues Archive includes a large sound recording archive of blues music collected by the Peter Redvers-Lee, the co-founder of the Fat Possum record label, a label that specialized in discovering blues players from the North Mississippi region, many of whom had never been recorded. Redvers-Lee was also the former editor of Living Blues magazine, America’s oldest and most authoritative blues magazine. This archive also includes the sound recordings captured by Vanderbilt musicologist Robbie Fry whose research is focused on Mississippi and Arkansas blues musicians.
