This review is from: Devil's Blues (Audio CD)

What do you get when you take 18 old tunes from the 50's 60' and 70' and place them in a racy jacket? 18 old tunes! There is absolutely nothing new here so don't be fooled by the cover. On the other hand, if you want to hear some original tunes that have been covered many, many times, for example Peppermint Harris' "Bad, Bad Whiskey", then you may want to add this to your collection. For those that are interested in a sampler of old blues, there is quite a line up here including J.B. Lenoir, Sonny Boy Williamson, Lightnin' Hopkins, Memphis Minnie and Big Joe Turner to name a few. However, the song selection and quality of the recordings are mediocre at best. Two stars for song selection, one star for sound quality.
