Review

This three-disc set features a total of 42 classic blues recordings, some going back to the 1920s. There's no rhyme or reason to the set, except that all of the tracks are classic recordings from Bessie Smith's "St. Louis Blues" and Robert Johnson's "Crossroads," "Hellhound on My Trail," and "Kindhearted Woman Blues" to Etta James' "At Last" and B.B. King's "The Thrill Is Gone." In between are classics from Tampa Red, Big Bill Broonzy, Robert Night Hawk, Muddy Waters, and Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, John Lee Hooker, Bukka White, Lightnin' Hopkins, Champion Jack Dupree, Lonnie Johnson, Memphis Slim, Otis Spann, Brownie McGhee, Dinah Washington, Roosevelt Sykes, and Jimmy Witherspoon. No matter how you slice it, this is a lot of great blues for a very small investment. Pick this up if you spot it anywhere. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide
