Half of a Two Pack Playing Card Set. Five Dice Included.

I started designing these cards last year, wanting to pay homage to some of the most inspiring yet underrated figures in musical history. The founding mothers and fathers of not just blues, but rock and pop as well. The recently departed Little Richard called Leadbelly "one of the foundations of music.” Not blues music. Music. Period. Their contribution to American culture is not recognised enough. These pioneers have long been held up as seminal figures within the world of folk, roots and blues music, but beyond that they are largely and shamefully ignored. In fact most people would not have even heard of Huddie Leadbetter or Sister Rosetta or Memphis Minnie. This is my small way of trying to keep their heritage alive.
