"This particular cd is primarily DIXIELAND, although the sample tracks would have you believe otherwise. I like old blues alright, but it can get repetitive. The dixieland tracks start on track 9 and continue throughout the cd. Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, Eva Taylor and others are featured here, as this was very well their first gig. I'm pretty young, and haven't heard all that much dixieland. In fact, this is pretty much the only real dixieland I've heard, so I can't really compare it to much other dixieland. But I love the 20's, and this cd is worth buying even if you never listen to it. Hooray for dixieland!"
