My name is Shane Louis, and you are listening to “Forever On My Mind:” Blues Songwriting in the 1960s, an Independent Study Podcast from the College of Wooster. In this project I look at the Blues during the 1960s, and how the songwriting shifted during this decade. 

In this episode, I outline my argument that I will be exploring with this 5 episode project. Then, I give a brief historical context of the Blues before the 1960s. Next I detail the evidence I will be using, and briefly discuss the historiography of Blues scholarship. 

Here is a Spotify playlist of all of the songs that were mentioned in this episode: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4otmlo6WD7i7Yhc26DFvZ3?si=ae494fed39384784
