4.0 out of 5 stars Has its ups and downs..., August 9, 2001
This review is from: Blues: The Essential Album Guide with CD (Audio) (Paperback)
Heavy on the beer-ad blues side of things, with sidebars that talk about "monster solos," and a CD sampler that comes for the House of Blues. You see where this is leading, right? Nonetheless, this also includes admirable entries on artists such as Sammy Price, Victoria Spivey and Buddy Johnson, who might otherwise languish outside of the canon. Appendices include listings of blues festivals, labels and artist web sites, which may be useful to the up-an-coming blues hound.
