But, Blues Alley isn’t your typical blues documentary. Our goal is to tell the stories of blues music, but also to reach into the lives of the people who created it. Explore the places they lived, and the times that inspired the first truly authentic form of American music.

You’ll be amazed.

Ida Cox may be the bluesiest of all the blues singers, but that’s just the beginning of her story.
Music researcher and author Derrick Stewart-Baxter summed up Ida Cox this way –
“Only show business and vaudeville in particular, could have created such an unbelievable character as Ida Cox. Certainly, no author would have dared to invent her, and if he had done so, he would have never put such a wildly improbable person into a book.”
