Congress has designated 2003 as the Year of the Blues, and both PBS and Public Radio are producing related series'. This CD is the perfect complement, featuring blues tracks by some of the legends (e.g. B.B. King, Taj Mahal, Ruth Brown, Henry Gray) and some of the rising stars (e.g. Keb' Mo', Robert Cray, Eric Bibb, Susan Tedeschi) who keep the blues alive and thriving. Whether you're a student of the art, or just like to listen to great music, this CD is for you.

This is a very good selection of soulful blues music. Good guitar and some soulful harmonica -

i had one in my car-love it so much i bought a second copy for my house!!!!!!!!!!

Cover and disc as good as advertised. Songs were good as expected. Delivery was actually earlier than promised.

I recieved the CD in a very timely manner and it was in excellent condition. Thanks! It's a terrific CD.

This is another CD that I found in my friend Regina's shop, Art and Soul. It is a collection of Blues, with 14 cuts by different musicians/vocalists. It has:
Arthur Adams and B.B. King ----- Get you next to me
Keb Mo' ------------------------ Hand it Over
Ruth Brown --------------------- Good Day for the Blues
Henry Gray --------------------- How could you do it
Taj Mahal ---------------------- Cakewalk into town
Robert Cray & Albert Collins --- She's into something
Sugar Pie Desanto -------------- Hello, San Francisco
Raful Neal --------------------- Call me Baby
Otis Rush ---------------------- I got the blues
Sunpie Barnes ------------------ Sunpie's Romp & Stomp
Eric Bibb ---------------------- Needed Time
Chris Thomas King -------------- Why Blues
Susan Tedeschi ----------------- Just won't burn
Soloman Burke ------------------ None of us are free

The playing time on individual cuts runs from 2:34 to 5:39. Total playing time is not given. I have it playing on my media player as I write this. It is published by Putumayo World Music (guaranteed to make you feel good! and it lives up to that promise). Putumayo is to be congratulated for putting together an outstanding collection.
