Blues
Blues

Tampa Red is a Blues act. Their sound grew out of Eddie Boyd, Big Bill Broonzy, Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith and Ida Cox. Those roots explain a lot about how Tampa Red arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Sleepy John Estes, Leroy Carr, Roosevelt Sykes, Elmore James and Jimmy Witherspoon, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Champion Jack Dupree, Robert Nighthawk, Muddy Waters, Arthur Crudup and Lonnie Johnson, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 33 connections around Tampa Red, reaching back through Eddie Boyd and forward to Champion Jack Dupree.
