5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Acoustic Compilation!, April 9, 2001

This review is from: Every Road I Take: The Best Of Contemporary Acoustic Blues (Audio CD)

This is a good mix of contemporary acoustic blues which features several well known musicians. The cd features many standouts such as, Alvin Youngblood Hart's "Pony Blues" from his award winning cd "Big Mama's Door", Keb' Mo's "Love Blues" from the cd "Keb' Mo'", R.l. Burnsides "Long Haired Doney" from "Acoustic Stories", Guy Davis' "Georgia Jelly Roll" from "Call Down The Thunder" and John Hammonds "Riding in the Moonlight" from his "Mileage" cd as well as an acoustic version by Tab Benoit of "Rainy Day Blues" featuring vocals by Willie Nelson. All in all, the cd is an excellent primer and is recommended for individuals that want to sample country blues. The only substandard tunes on the disc are Steve James "Stack Lee Blues" and Woody Mann's "Little Brother". With those two exceptions, the cd is a keeper.

This review is from: Every Road I Take: The Best Of Contemporary Acoustic Blues (Audio CD)

This CD features some of the best contemporary blues artists around. Highlights (besides the incredible Keb'Mo) include the Sue Foley tune and the Tab Benoit/Willie Nelson duet. Fantastic! A wide variety of artists and song styles make this a must-have blues album.
