CD ReviewsBuy it With Confidence Peter Gordon | Canberra, ACT Australia | 07/06/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This boxed set provides an excellent opportunity to add breadth to any blues collection. It's also an oustanding bargain at the price. For the most part the compiler offers just one track per performer or group, with the tracks arranged in chronological order. The first two discs range from 1925 to late in 1930, the third covers the 1930's. The final disc changes the pattern. After five blues by different artists from the early 1940's we settle into multiple jump blues from Les Brown, Jimmie Gordon and Johnny Temple. Until this final disc, however, the range is enormous, with a sprinkling of famous titles amid a wonderful array of undeserved obscurities. For the most part the sound is highly acceptable given the age and occasional rarity of the originals. There's a substantial and useful booklet of about 40 pages, with full commentary and exhaustive discographic detail, as one should expect. Even at the risk of a certain amount of duplication this is an excellent compilation, either for people new to this wonderful genre, or to those with greater experience. Unless you're remarkably expert, it's certain to widen horizons and introduce you to unfamiliar treasures. Buy it with confidence." Broke, Black, and Blue Teach | St. Augustine, FL | 05/28/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Outstanding collection of old blues sides, a great addition to anyone's collection. Even better, I bought it several years ago, new & unopened, from edwardrhamilton.com a discount bookseller sometimes offering great deals on music CD's and worth checking out. This is fine music covering a wide range of artists & styles."
