This anthology bringing together four CDs reviews everything the blues has produced that is essential. With an average of two to three titles per selected artist, this intelligently put together compilation offers good quality sound for recordings sometimes dating from the turn of the century. All periods up to the British Blues (Delta Blues, Texas Blues, Louisiana Blues, Rhythm&Blues.) are represented; you will find most of the great artists often with their flagship title and sometimes even rarities. Alongside John Lee Hooker's colossal Boom Boom, don't hesitate to listen to Big Mama Thornton's Hound Dog or other even rarer titles. With the hundred titles present, you should be spoiled for choice.
