4.0 out of 5 stars AN ADMIREABLE TRIBUTE TO JOHNSON'S WORK, January 3, 2009

This review is from: Blues of Robert Johnson (Audio CD)

I'VE ONLY HAD A FEW EASYDISC CDS THAT I CONSIDER A "BELL RINGER"....THIS IS ONE OF THEM. I'M A BLUES MUSICIAN AND LOVE THE SOUND OF THE SLIDE GUITAR. ALL THE ARTISTS ON THIS CD GIVE AN ACCURATE TRIBUTE TO JOHNSON'S STYLE OF SLIDE. I USUALLY DON'T CARE TOO MUCH FOR CDS THAT HAVE THE SAME ARTIST DOING MORE THAN ONE SONG...JOHNNY SHINES, JOHN HAMMOND AND RORY BLOCK ALL COVER 3 SONGS APIECE...BUT THEY DO IT SO WELL THAT IT DOESN'T AFFECT THE ESSENCE OF THIS WORK AT ALL. PAUL RISHELL, KRISTINA OLSEN AND BOB BROZMEN COMPLETE THE REMAINDER OF THE 12 TRACKS. OLSEN AND BROZMEN ARE NOT WELL KNOWN BLUES ARTISTS, BUT STAND RIGHT UP TO THE REST ON THIS CD. MY FAVORITES ARE TRACKS 3, 5 AND 12. I GAVE THIS CD A 4 STAR RATING. IF YOU ARE A FAN OF ROBERT JOHNSON AND SLIDE GUITAR, YOU WILL REALLY DIG THIS CD. JERSEY SLIM
