(5 out of 5 stars)
"This collection contains strong performances by big name artists of songs rock fans will recognize from the covers done by Clapton, Cream, Zeppelin, et al. But it's more than a roots album, it will make you a blues fan. Includes the stellar cuts I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man (Muddy Waters), Bring It On Home (Sonny Boy Williamson), I Can't Quit You Baby (Otis Rush), and Wang Dang Doodle (Koko Taylor), plus Bo Diddley's I'm A Man (I spell M...A...N), Walking by Myself (Jimmy Rogers), Hound Dog (Big Mama Thornton), Baby What You Want Me to Do (Jimmy Reed), and B.B.'s Paying the Cost to be the Boss. But buy it for the fantastic "Spoonful" by Howlin' Wolf and understand what Cream was trying to do and missed."
