This review is from: Bessie Smith: The Complete Recordings, Vol. 5 - The Final Chapter (Audio CD)

Bessie, the Queen of blues lives on in this box set. The complete recordings is indeed a must have for any true fan of early blues or jazz. She is the icon of a music lost to the ears of many contemporary music lovers. The entire bos set is a thrill to own, and I recommomend it.
