CD Reviews

Bed Spring Poker
Stuart Jefferson | San Diego,Ca | 05/26/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Two cd's each over seventy minutes long. The recordings are for the most part clean and clear-much better than you would think. The artists range from well known ( Lightin' Hopkins, Bessie Smith) to somewhat obscure(Dan Pickett, Ralph Willis) but the songs are always entertaining. This area of blues music is somewhat small but is important in an overall view of the genre. The styles of music range from traditional blues to hokum to r&b. It is surprising that so many women recorded music of this kind. This is a good companion to Bill Wyman's collection Rude Dudes that was released a few years ago. The price makes this a very good buy. Don't believe the hype about all of these being rare,some of these have appearred on Rude Dudes. However,this is a compilation worth purchasing."
