Product description

• Released in 1982 on Malaco Records, ZZ Hill’s Down Home Blues stands as the seminal soul-blues song that revitalized the genre and reconnected it with mainstream African American audiences. The record became a massive hit, remaining on the Billboard charts for nearly two years, and firmly reestablished blues as a commercial and cultural force. Down Home Blues not only solidified ZZ Hill’s status as a modern blues icon before his untimely passing in 1984, but also cemented Malaco Records’ reputation as a premier blues label.
