"Finding a slow-jam blues compilation is tough. There's tons of upbeat blues tunes, but not a lot of the stuff people generally associate with the blues: the drawling, lazy, kicked-back, heartbreak stuff. It's even harder if you're the type of person who is attracted to this apsect of the blues alone, but discover that most blues records are filled with jumping numbers and maybe 1 or 2 ballads. It's tough, and tryig to put together a compilation on your own can be expensive.So here's the "Depression Blues" set, each CD (3 in the series) ready to knock you back on the couch and make you sip that Kool-Aid thinking about an old love gone bad. It's great stuff, pulled from popular and not-so popular sources. You need not have to beat the racks for a blues slow jam again.This particular CD of the set, sold boxed and separately as well, is a little more upbeat in notion than the rest of the set. You can get your jook joint slow dance on, and find something to cry about. Great stuff, and great for beginners to blues."
