Celebrating half a century of one of America's most legendary blues institutions, Antone's: 50 Years of the Blues is the definitive musical document of Austin's renowned Antone's nightclub and record label. This sweeping collection brings together rare, out-of-print, and newly unearthed live and studio recordings from the Antone's archives, showcasing an extraordinary lineup that spans generations of blues royalty — from Albert Collins, Otis Rush, and Sunnyland Slim to Jimmie Vaughan, Gary Clark Jr., Kim Wilson & the Fabulous Thunderbirds, and dozens more.
Beyond the iconic names, Antone's: 50 Years of the Blues also shines a light on rising voices like Kam Franklin and McKinley James, proving that the blues tradition Antone's championed continues to thrive. The set is rounded out by an exclusive Los Lobos 45rpm single, a brand-new double LP of previously unheard recordings titled The Last Real Texas Blues Album, a perfect-bound liner notes book with an all-new Antone's history written by Joe Nick Patoski, and a 200-page hardcover reissue of Susan Antone's Picture the Blues photo book — making this an unparalleled celebration of Texas blues history.
