Mad Dog Blues supports and promotes diversity and equity and wants to thank the many African American, Native American and people of color that have inspired and influenced us with their music. In general, the rural American musicians and hokum songsters of 20's and 30's were playing music influenced by the players around them. Musical influence was more regional than genre-based and quite often color-blind. Radio airplay and the recording industry is more genre based. Segregation and racism in the music industry was responsible for the splitting up the true American music into the existing genres (like Country and Blues). It is our hope to go deep into the roots of this music and come up with our own songs that transcend the divisions in American music created by commercialism and racism.
