Bluesville Records was a U.S.-based record label operating as a branch of Prestige Records, established in 1959 with the purpose of preserving the output of traditional blues musicians who were increasingly neglected by contemporary listeners. Esteemed artists including Roosevelt Sykes, Lightnin' Hopkins, Rev. Gary Davis, alongside Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee produced significant portions of their catalogs under this label. The production of LPs by Bluesville concluded by 1966.
