Wisconsin Blues discography (acoustic and electric)
|
This page lists links for current and past Wisconsin-based
Electric Blues musicians. If they are blues, and they are plugged in
all the time, they are listed here. All "Acoustic Blues" musicians,
as well as Electric Blues musicians who also regularly perform as a
solo acoustic artist are listed on the
Wisconsin Acoustic Blues Musicians page.
All known recordings by artists who have never been listed before
in any other book will be listed in my forthcoming book,
"FolkLib Index: Wisconsin Discography" .
At this time, this includes everyone except Luther Allison, whose
discography has been published in print by others.
Please write
if you know about any Wisconsin Blues artist/group not listed, or if you
have additional information about, or links for, a listed artist/group.
