Big Bill Broonzy was at the heart of the Chicago blues scene during its early years and his popularity would last until his death in 1958. His gentle brand of country blues had, by then, been overshadowed by a new generation of showy, electrified bluesmen, but his contribution to the tradition in linking the Mississippi delta blues of Robert Johnson with the Chicago sound of Muddy Waters and others is one that remains recognised and revered today.
