In the 1970s, Blues labels like Blind Pig were created from the meager savings of devout fans. Like most labors of Blues love, the label was born from wanting to record and share the performances of the players who played the Blind Pig Cafe in Ann Arbor, Michigan. What co-founders Edward Chmelewski and Jerry Del Giudice began in 1977 has grown into one of the most well known Blues labels in the world. From the very first Blind Pig artist, Boogie Woogie Red, to first generation Bluesmen like Johnny Shines and Jimmy Rogers to the most recent recordings by Rod Piazza and Magic Slim, consumers will never go wrong with any Blind Pig product.
