Moby’s massive hit 1999 album “Play” was dedicated to folk musicologist Alan Lomax, whose blues field recordings were highly influential to, and used heavily in the album’s development.

This quality embroidered hat features Chance Records and Chicago, Illinois. Chance Records was a Chicago-based blues label that captured the raw, postwar electric blues sound coming out of the city in the 1950s. It’s closely associated with influential Chicago blues artists and represents a pivotal moment when the blues moved from Southern roots to an urban, electrified edge.
