James J. (Kelpie) wrote on 2/26/2009...

I have owned this 2 cd set for eleven years now. It is a fantastic introduction to Blues music. The list of performers contains some of the best known and lesser known names in blues. But every track is a shining example of how to do Blues right. There is also a wide variety of Blues styles represented here. I have always liked Blues music, after all Blues gave birth to Rock and Roll. But after listening to this collection I was really hooked. There is no doubt this collection easily earns a five star rating.

An exceptional blues sampler from a label that knows Blues.
