5.0 out of 5 stars Burke finally shared his collection!, January 20, 2000

This review is from: Vachss, Andrew: Safe House - Collection of Blues (Audio Cassette)

Andrew Vachss devotees know that Burke loves the way Judy Henske sings the blues.

Unfortunately, until recently, none of her music was available in print, and was very hard to find even in out-of-print stores.

I ordered two copies of the Safe House CD when I ordered the book, when it first came out in hardcover. (I knew that my brother, for whom I'd bought the book, would want a CD as well.) Having been a metalhead in the 80s and a lover of "alternative" music during the 90s, I bought the CD out of sheer curiosity about Judy and not because of any love of the Blues.

This CD totally entranced me, from the first time I listened to it. When I had a soundcard on my computer at work, I would listen to the entire CD from beginning to end every day without getting tired of it. It's like nothing I had ever experienced.

5.0 out of 5 stars Let the rain fall while this CD is playing, May 7, 1999

I cannot get over this wonderful collection of the blues. I will put it on with the intention of getting something done while listening to it, but time and again, I find myself sitting on my couch, staring out the window as the music encases me. A wonderful CD to hold a mood, or just create one on its own account. A real must have.

If you are an Andrew Vachss fan, you'll love this CD. I especially like Another Man's Woman by Marcia Ball. This is a "Must Have" album.
