Product Description
UK budget-price box-set for one of the inventors of the new blues, that is the blues one hears today as played by BB, Albert & Freddy King, Gatemouth Brown, Eric Clapton, Chuck Berry & numerous blues-influenced rock groups. T.Bone Walker was the first bluesman to play the electric guitar, a renowned showman who electrified his audiences. He is the original source. 90 tracks are included in this set & the 44 page booklet tells the story of one of the great musical innovators of the 20th century. 4 standard jewel cases housed in a slipcase. 2002.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything from 1951 back!!!, April 21, 2006
By Bangsmith (Cumberland, RI) - See all my reviews
Amazon's review calls this a budget release, which may be a bit misleading. This is the exact equivalent of any of the JSP blues boxes. The packaging is very cheap, but the music is major-label quality and remastered(just like JSP). This has everything T-Bone recorded from 1951 back. The major downside(if there is one) is that it ends abruptly in 1951 in the middle of his tenure with Imperial. He was with that label from 1950 through 1954, and this collection has the first half(or so) of that output. There is no real reason to end it here when this could have been a 5-CD set including all the Imperial material. His entire Imperial output is available on an excellent 2-CD set, but the first disk, and the first couple of songs on the second disk of that set overlap with the last disk and the end of the third disk of this set. If you don't buy both sets, you will have the blues when you hear what you're missing!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars YOU LIKE BEANO...CHECK OUT THE REAL DEAL!, February 6, 2009
Anyone who thinks the 'modern blues sound' was created on Mayall & Clapton's Beano album (1966) or Butterfield & Bloomfield's (1965) for that matter...go check out the real deal...T-Bone Walker 'the inventor of the new blues'...that is the modern electric blues we are accustomed to today. I can't say enough good about this Properbox as it's just stunning (and also cheap). Sound is incredible...remember this stuff predates the above albums by a decade or two! The Penguin Guide to the Blues gives this collection their highest (4 star) rating. I would just recommend you listen to discs backwards as the collection is in chronological order and the fifties stuff will be easier for most to digest and appreciate first...then work your way back. T-Bones guitar tone will make most think this sounds just like modern blues albums...in actuality the reverse is true. P.S. Hendrix didn't invent guitar theatrics either...check out this showman. Do yourself a favor get this boxset.
