The Best of the Blues Sites, MP3s, History and Photos with a very eclectic definition of the blues. Killing floor-- The slaughtering room of an abattoir, a slaughter house, where animals were brought to be killed and cut up. Particularly in the Chicago Stockyards area where many black newcomers from the South found jobs during the 20's, 30's and 40's working on the killing floors.

What is Killing Floor Blues music? I can't explain, but I know it when I hear it. I like Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, Leadbelly, John Lee Hooker, The Clash, Hank Williams, Jerry Lee Lewis, etc. I consider them all to be Killing Floor Blues. This Music Blog will primarily include links to MP3 files of Killing Floor Blues, some hosted by myself, and others I've discovered on the Internet. A BRIEF DISCLAIMER All MP3's are up for a limited time and are for sampling purposes only.
