4.0 out of 5 stars Some interesting artists not on most other compilations, October 4, 2000

This review is from: 15 Piano Blues & Boogie Classics (Audio CD)

Great compilation at a great price. This CD contains a variety of mostly south and southwest players not found on many other blues piano compilations. The variations in Texas blues piano styles (Robert Shaw - Santa Fe and Thunder Smith - Dallas) were suprizing. I liked some the artists so much I have purchased five of the CD's represented on this release. Whistlin' Alex Moore and Mercy Dee (Walton) are two of the jewels found here. Both are great players and amazing storytellers. One thing to note about the CD: some better known piano men are here as featured players on another artists tracks (tracks 4, 8, 9, 15). But it is not just all men, the great Katie Webster plays a dynamic boogie. I've rated this CD at four stars and strongly recommend it.
