Rhythm & Blues was one of the most identifiable musical art forms of the 20th Century, with an enormous influence on the development of both the sound and attitude of modern music.

The History of Rhythm and Blues series of CDs investigates the accidental synthesis of jazz, gospel, blues, ragtime, country, pop and latin into a definable form of black music, which in turn would influence pretty well all popular music from the 1950s to the present. It is the first attempt to put together a cross-label compilation showcasing the most important and influential records in the rise of Rhythm & Blues. Volume Two investigates the transition from race music through sepia to Rhythm & Blues; the growing importance of radio; the rise of the independent record labels, the 45rpm record and the jukebox and looks at the rhythms behind the blues from shuffle and jump through rhumba to rocknroll and beyond. Artyists included include : Dinah Washington – T-Bone Walker – Louis Jordan – Joe Liggins – Big Joe Turner – Amos Milburn - Arthur Crudup - Sonny Boy Williamson – Muddy Waters – John Lee Hooker – Ravens – Orioles - Wynonie Harris - Howlin’ Wolf - Ike Turner – Elmore James – Dominoes – Professor Longhair - Fats Domino – Lloyd Price – B.B.King – Ray Charles - Little Esther – Ruth Brown.
