CD Reviews

Best Blues CD ever!!!!

10/16/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Blues is oldest most original and influential American art form. Born over a hundred years ago in the Mississippi Delta, telling the stories of the poor and oppressed with incredible soul and honesty. The Blues Story is the greatest compilation of the best blues artists of our time. This two disc set contains track such as Mamie Smith singing "Crazy Blues", that is so powerful and soulful that I felt like I was in a smokey blues club down in New Orleans with Mamie right in front of me. Other tracks include Big Joe Turner singing the original, low down "Shake rattle and Roll", B.B. King singing "Everyday I Have the Blues", and my personal favorite, Ma Rainey singing the "Yonder Comes the Blues" in which you feel that the music is coming straight from her gut. I really and enjoyed this CD and feel that it is a must have for any blues fan and anyone who has an appreciation for music in general."
