Description: Released in 1972 on United Artists, Blues Roots presented Ike Turner stepping back from his work with the Ike & Tina Turner Revue to record a stripped-down blues album in Bolic Sound Studios, the Los Angeles studio he built himself. Born in Clarksdale, Mississippi, Turner was a pivotal figure in the development of rock and roll, often credited with recording one of the first rock singles, “Rocket 88,” in 1951. This album highlights his return to the foundation of his career, making it a notable piece in documenting his wide-ranging influence on American music.
