Peter Wilson has written a great article about the Blues scene in Iowa. It appeared in the Jan/Feb issue of The Iowan magazine and is entitled "Indigo Rhythms - Iowa Blues Color The Heartland." The story details Iowa's surprising blues music scene and how this blackest of genres has established itself in one of the whitest states in the country. Iowa's many blues societies are one of the key reasons this scene is possible.
