Country blues at its most original! Living Country Blues is a series of albums released by L+R Records. The material was collected by blues experts Siegfried A. Christmann and Axel Küstner in the fall of 1980 on an extensive tour of the United States - in the form of so-called field recordings, that is, recordings that reflect the artist in his natural environment, not in the studio. They traveled 10,000 miles (16,000 km) by car, used 180,000 feet (54 km) of analog magnetic tape, and took hundreds of photographs to document various aspects of country blues, as well as work songs, fife & drum band music, so-called field hollers, and original gospel music. Thirty-five artists were recorded, some of whom appeared on the record for the first time.

Album valt binnen het genre Blues, Country-Blues, Piemont Blues, Delta-Blues, Gospel, Memphis Blues, Piano Blues, Harmonica Blues, East Coast Blues en Hill Country Blues.
