Legends Of The Blues, Indeed
Alfred Johnson | boston, ma | 05/07/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I recently noted in reviewing a CD containing the work of legendary early acoustic blues guitarist in this same series that sometimes a review, especially a review of old time blues artists, is a very easy chore. That is certainly the case here with this CD, another Columbia Legacy series production, highlighting most of the known names from the early days of the genre. I have spilled some ink here previously discussing the impact of the early acoustic blues artists on the post-World War II explosion of electric blues, most notably the Chicago blues sound. Well, here they are all together in one place guitarists, vocalists, harmonica players and pianists for the beginner and for the aficionado.



A role call of honor here tells the tale. The "Honeydripper" Roosevelt Sykes on the salacious "Henry Ford Blues" (if you can believe that title). Guitarist extraordinaire Tampa Red on "Turpentine Blues". Brownie McGhee on "Goodbye Now". Harmonica man "Jazz" Gillum on "Is That A Monkey You Got?". Lucille Bogan on "Bo-Easy Blues". I think I have made my point. Right?
