Good Overall Blues Instrumental Cd

"What initially drew me to this compilation Cd was Ronnie Earl's superb "Baby Doll Blues" which is on three of his Cd's, but all are out-of-print. I was pleasantly surprised as most of the tracks on this compilation are quite good, with standouts (besides 'Baby Doll Blues') being Mike Morgan & the Crawl's "Blues for Al and Peggy" and Tutu Jones' "I'm not Ashamed to Play the Blues." The price makes this a good bargain for the quality of music. Definitely worth getting if you like Slow Blues instrumentals."

TURN YOUR LAMP DOWN LOW...IT'S BLUES AFTER HOURS

"THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE "VARIOUS ARTISTS" CDS. FIRST OF ALL BLUES AFTER HOURS IS ALL INSTRUMENTAL...WHICH IS A BIT RARE. SECONDLY, MOST OF THE ARTISTS ARE "KNOWN" PERFORMERS: RONNIE EARL, ROD PIAZZA, ANNIE RAINES, ETC. AND THIRD OF ALL, OF THE 10 NUMBERS ON THIS DISC, ONLY 2 ARE, IN MY OPINION, NOT REALLY "BLUES". HENCE THE 4 RATHER THAN 5 STAR RATING. WANT TO GROOVE ON SOME "NIGHT BLUES"? TURN YOUR LAMP DOWN LOW AND CHECK OUT BLUES AFTER HOURS. YOU'LL DIG IT. JERSEY SLIM"
