Legendary blues singer/songwriter/guitarist Big Bill Broonzy was a force in music from the 1920s until his passing in 1958. He was one of the first American blues artists to play Europe, and this fine recording shows how he influenced a generation of guitar players including Eric Clapton, John Lennon, Jerry Garcia and Bert Jansch.

Live in 1953 was recorded in Amsterdam, Netherlands and features ten tracks by this inaugural member of the Blues Hall of Fame. The set makes its vinyl debut for RSD Black Friday.
