Tracks list

In the 1950s and 60s, the blues was the dominant form of Black vernacular music
throughout Texas and the surrounding areas. In segregated neighborhoods,
community members gathered in saloons, dancehalls, and each other’s homes
to hear their neighbors sing their stories of sorrow, heartbreak, jubilation,
and triumph. Robert “Mack” McCormick, an academically untrained but
fanatical devotee of the blues, stepped into this world and became one of its
most devout advocates and documentarians. By photographing Black and Latino
Texans and their neighborhoods, as well as recording and interviewing
musicians—many of whom never stepped foot into a proper recording
studio—McCormick endeared and eventually embedded himself into these
communities. By the time he died in 2015, McCormick had amassed a collection of
590 reels of sound recordings and 165 boxes of manuscripts, original interviews
and research notes, thousands of photographs and negatives, playbills, and
posters. Because McCormick never published or released most of these materials,
his collection became a thing of legend and intense speculation among scholars,
blues aficionados, and musicians alike.
