Solid Blues Compilation From Some of the Best Early Practitioners of the Genre
What makes this CD great is that it's 26 tracks by a great variety of the best Blues masters of all-time. These are some of the earliest Blues performers, which makes the sound quality of these tracks all the more remarkable. Don't get me wrong; these are mostly old recordings, and far from perfect, but they sound considerably better than I expected. If you like your Blues old style, you can't do much better than this.
