Small amount of music, wrong album notes

"Any collection of music should have at least 60 minutes of music--this CD only has 38 minutes. The 38 minutes are good(almost all 1960's blues is good), but there are many, many, many better blues collections which have over 60 minutes of equally good music for the same money. Also the album notes are totally wrong for the two Junior Wells selections. The album notes talk at great length about how the two Jr. Wells selections were taken from the great Jr. Wells Album "Hoodoo Man Blues" for which it gives the history, influences, etc. This is totally wrong!! The Jr. Wells selections, Key to the Highway and You Gotta Love Her with a Feeling are not on the "Hoodoo Man Blues" album!!!"
Hot Harps

"Chicago Blues MastersThis CD is a solid bit of blues history featuring some of Chicago's brightest stars. Right from the get go the legendary Magic Sam tears through `Sweet Home Chicago,' followed by Bell's `I'm Ready.' Crudups take on `Look on Yonder Wall' is one of my favorite versions of this classic. This CD is laden with hot harp work from Carey Bell, Big Walter Horton & Magic Sam. The only draw back to this title is the quality of recording and overall lack of information. I own it and listen to it often!"
