Blue 88s stands as an archival spotlight within the blues landscape, presenting a curated collection of unreleased piano blues gems dating from 1938 to 1942. Originating within the Hi Horse Records catalog, this compilation brings together performances from multiple piano blues masters, offering listeners a historical snapshot of an era defined by expressive, intimate piano work and the raw charisma of early blues recordings. While Blue 88s is not a current touring act or single performing artist, the project serves as a bridge to the era’s pianists and the label’s archival approach, making it a valuable discovery for collectors, historians, and blues enthusiasts.
