This week on Backbeat we sample a new compilation by Dick Spottswood focusing on 1925, the year electrical recordings first appeared while blues, country and gospel were emerging as musical forms. We've also got a lot of music from New Orleans and the Bayou (just the way it works out sometimes) and everything from the raw blues of Lightnin' Slim to the smooth sound of Jane Morgan
