4.0 out of 5 stars Great mix of new and old blues recordings, July 12, 1999

By A Customer

The House of Blues label has done it again with another incredible collection of blues essentials. From classics must-haves by Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, and John Lee Hooker to more recent recordings by Taj Mahal and Luther Allison, this collection is calling to you.

Also have to mention that the album art and liner notes are beautifully designed and well-written.

Only reason not to give it a full five stars is too many tracks pulled from other HOB discs, but if you don't have them all yet, you won't mind.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of hits, lots of misses, November 3, 2004

By	Patrick Madigan (Mesa, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a so-so collection of blues recordings. A few are great, with artists like Muddy Waters, T-bone Walker, and John Lee Hooker contributing some classics. But there are a few songs that were made famous by the Rolling Stones, and they sound ridiculous played in a blues style. Bottom line: this is worth getting, but only if you can get it cheap, and you're willing to sift through some duds to get to the good ones.
