Blues music laid the foundation for rock and roll. Some of the most well known musicians of early rock such as Elvis Presley, and Jerry Lee Lewis borrowed heavily from the blues both lyrically and melodically. In this wonderful card set, thirty-six early blues musicians are lovingly depicted by famed cartoonist R. Crumb, with concise biographies on reverse. Mississippi John Hurt, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Memphis Minnie, Charley Patton, Jaybird Coleman, Blind Willie Johnson, the Mississippi Sheiks, Sleepy John Estes, Roosevelt Sykes & many others, both giants in the field and obscure. These are printed on heavy card stock and housed in a very cool gift box. Heroes of the Blues is part of a set of three boxed trading cards that also includes Early Jazz Greats and Pioneers of Country Music. These are hugely popular with fans of both blues music and Crumb. These perennial sellers are sure to please. They make great gifts or stocking stuffers for musicians, music lovers and comics collectors alike.

Awesome artist. I've always loved his style, since my days back at Music & Art High School in the 1970's. A great work for all fans of the blues. But no Robert Johnson?

LOVE IT!
If you are a fan of old school blues (the REAL blues), this is a great little collectible!! Really cool little set. Was missing a few guys I thought for sure would be in there(Robert Johnson, Leadbelly).... but it is still a great set. If you like old blues, you can't lose.

Great Artwork and Music History by Robert Crumb
Had these cards many years ago. I am glad they are available again. Robert Crumb is a great artist. And he also is a big fan of all these musicians in this card set. He also plays old time music too. Its a joy to have this card set again. I look forward to getting more card sets.

Mini mojo items
I'm crazy about the blues. Especially the type put out by these early performers. I keep this deck in the accessory box of my brass bodied National Style O slide guitar. I draw inspiration from them when I play. WHen I meet someone who has soul, I have them take a look through them, explaining I want some of their vibe to rub off on the cards. Then I think of those people later too. I always keep Memphis Minnie on top cause she's my fave.
