Great news for blues fans. Dr. Barry Lee Pearson is now publishing his previously unpublished interviews on thecountryblues.com.
We are just getting started and it is a great honor to be able to unveil these important music history articles. More are forthcoming, as we first need to type them from old original handwritten manuscripts. Dr. Barry Lee Pearson, Professor in the English Department at the University of Maryland stands as the most steadfast supporter of the local acoustic blues scene in the greater Washington, D.C., area and beyond. As a musician, author, college lecturer, folklorist, and personal friend to the musicians, he has been the voice of this regional blues scene. As a former student at the University of Maryland, I have always looked up to him, so I am just thrilled to see us build this list of articles.
