This is the same bunch of artists that inspired brits like the Rolling Stones. When I first heard it, I understood why! Everything on this collection is great classic blues - laid back, stripped down & earthy. I would put this in the same class as early Muddy Waters & Junior Wells. There's no pretense or over-production & these are all rollin' songs with great hooks.
Now if I can just find this cd!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Big 5 are on here .., February 13, 2006

What do I mean? well the Big 5 in my opinion are Silas Hogan , Lazy Lester , Lightnin Slim, Lonesome Sundown , and Slim Harpo. I went out and Got all this stuff on Vinyl , back in 63 , in UK ..Via 2 LP's Authentic R&B , and The Real R&B .Those 2 records, were our Bible .. Only two gripes here .. the ROCKIN version of 'Im A Lover Not A Fighter'by Lazy Lester , has been replaced with the inferior alt' weaker take. To find the best version you have to track down Lazy Lesters ACE C.D . they have put the weaker take on the re- issue of Authentic R&B too .. why; I don't know ..Second gripe ..My home is A Prison' by Lonesome Sundown .. a Swamp Blues classic, should also be on here ..Nevertheless, 5 stars for the music here ..

This is dirty, Louisiana blues at its best. It makes me want to drink liquor and take my shirt off.
