A couple of weeks ago, the royalty collection organization Sound Exchange released its updated database of artists that they're currently looking for, in order to pay funds they've collected for satellite and Internet radio broadcasters. Among the 50,000+ names on the organization's list are a number of blues artists. The Reverend spent the better part of a weekend working on a severe case of eyestrain, and I've put together a list of all the blues artists that Sound Exchange has listed as "missing in action." Is your name on the list?

What a playlist this would make! Some of the greatest blues ever … cool reading. Hope they all (or their heirs) get some mailbox money soon …
