This week, in honor of black history month, I've compiled some of the most classic blues and soul for your listening pleasure, as well as a few well-known black American poets that I've scattered around in here. Sure to be satisfying, yet weary and lamenting at the same time.

It’s arranged in a sort of chronology, starting with a few songs about hard times, vaguely reminiscent of prisoners, and flows all the way up through the Mississippi river delta, through Martin Luther King’s era, and ends up as some more recent soul music towards the end. I have it all packed into the next 2 hours, so stay tuned for that thick feeling in your chest that can only be inspired by the artists of a revolution.
