At the event, the four blues legends were from 89 to 94 years old and represented the last performers of Delta blues from the 1920s. The concert was arranged by the 501(c)3 non-profit The Blue Shoes Project, which aims to preserve and spread awareness of roots music amongst students.[1]Two years after the concert, both Lockwood and Townsend were dead, and by early 2011, only Edwards was still alive. He died later that year. Critical receptionIn 2007, the album was nominated for Best Traditional Blues Album[2] and won the following February at the 50th Grammy Awards. It was also nominated for a Blues Music Award for Traditional Blues Album of the Year.[4] By January 2009, the album had sold less than 1,000 copies.[1] Track listing- Robert Lockwood, Jr – "King Biscuit Time" (McKinley Morganfield) – 2:55
