CD Reviews
Terrific collection of blues that everybody should have

"If you got to have a cd of blues,you need at least this one for your collection of music. Great performers like Johnny Otis, B.B.KING,Billie Holiday, John Lee Hooker,Ray Charles, etc.will make you feel all the glamour of this music"
Disappointing

"If you are into modern blues such as Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton or recent B.B. King this album is not for you. The recordings are poorly done and the blues are so old that they sound more like 30's jazz. I realize that this is where blues started but if you enjoy listening to that fast blues guitar or harmonica you will not find it here."
Good, and I'd buy it again, but...

"I like Blues, and I like Billie Holiday, but I don't think that Billie sang the blues. They put 7 of her songs on the 3 cd set, and they seemed incongruous to me. Especially considering all the other great women blues artists they could have chosen instead. But, I do like compilations, and I think that this is was a good buy for someone who doesn't purchase many cd's (like me!)"
