5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent mixture of great blues harmonica artists, April 20, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Overland Park, KS) - See all my reviews

A lot of times when one purchases a blues recording, the tunes are all in the same style and sound the same. This is a great CD that mixes it up a bit, with harmonica greats from Little Walter to Rod Piazza. It is a great way to sample a lot of different artists and then buy more CDs once you know who you like. I hope House of Blues puts out another collection similar to this. Very enjoyable.
