Chicago bluesman Brant Buckley has created a video years in the making. Over 16 minutes long, it features 101 acoustic songs in a row, spanning from 1931 to this year.

“Playing 101 songs in a row, musically speaking, was one of the most challenging things I have ever done as it was on the acoustic guitar. It opens with a blues number by Skip James called “Hard Time Killin’ Floor.”

There are also blues numbers by Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Lead Belly, Big Bill Broonzy, Elizabeth Cotton, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Buddy Guy. Blues shaped popular acoustic music, and I wanted to show that.

Also, the ’90s were such a great time for acoustic music and there were so many hits. It would be nice if popular music turns back around and there’s a great acoustic revival. I hope people enjoy the video and get something from it.

In 2012, Buckley independently released his first album, My Life, which was featured in The Times of India (India’s CNN).

In 2015, he released Chicago Summer, a three-song EP. His song “Shine” has over 55,000 YouTube plays.
