The Blues Foundation and the Delta Blues Museum are excellent online resources for more information about the blues. Be sure to download and listen to the DBM's top-notch (and free) podcast, Uncensored History of the Blues.

Please note: If this is your first visit, please feel free to skip the first 10-12 episodes of Murphy's Saloon, which you may find are of sub-par quality, sound-wise. If you decide to listen, just know that while the music is great, my voice may seem muffled in many of those shows.
