The Rough Guide to Blues Revival is a blues compilation album originally released in 2009. Part of the World Music Network Rough Guides series, the album contains two discs: an overview of the contemporary scene on Disc One, primarily featuring American artists, and a "bonus" Disc Two highlighting Malian Samba Touré (a reference to the commonalities between the American Blues and West African music). The compilation was produced by Phil Stanton, co-founder of the World Music Network.[1] Curation was performed by Nigel Williamson, a music journalist and author of the book The Rough Guide to the Blues.[2] The term "blues revival" refers to the resurgence of the genre after the success of Stevie Ray Vaughan.[3]
