I just beat the game fallout 3, it has an amazing soundtrack, full of old songs from the 30’s, 40’s & 50’s. My favorite songs in the game were two by a Jump Blues Artist names Roy Brown. I want to delve deeper into this genre. Can anyone list some other great jump blues performers that I can search out? I already have a pandora channel dedicated to Roy Brown, so please don’t recommend pandora. Thanks.
