"This is a FUN album. I bought this to expand my Willie Mabon collection, but it has opened my eyes to a whole range of pianists -- Pinetop Perkins, Sammy Price, Milt Buckner, Lafayette Leake, Jay McShann, Willie Mabon, Sammy Price, Memphis Slim, Pat Flowers, Lloyd Glenn and Joe Turner all have tracks on this collection.I thank Black & Blue for making these recordings available, and look forward to tracking down more of their catalog."
