The Legends of the Rocking Dutchman - episode 22

Broke and Busted

Today my Legends are a bit short of money and that is the central theme of the playlist for this episode of the Legends of the Rocking Dutchman. The lyrics of the blues reflected everyday troubles of African Americans and in these days, poverty was definitely one of these worries.

A playlist that spans an exceptional long period in this episode, as we start as early as in 1928 and we end in 1962, and that features a pioneer on the Hammond organ, a man on the moon and a group whose lead singer sadly passed away while waiting in line for the presidential elections of 2012.
