A four-disc set split into four distinct approaches to the blues. Disc one is entitled "Rural Blues" and features tracks by Charlie Patton, Son House, Papa Charlie Jackson, Blind Blake, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Boy Fuller and Sonny Terry, and Robert Johnson. The second disc is entitled "Piano Blues & Boogie Woogie" and spotlights classics from Little Brother Montgomery, Pine Top Smith, Cripple Clarence Lofton, Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell, Jimmy Yancey, Meade Lux Lewis, Peetie Wheatstraw, Memphis Slim, Big Maceo, Pete Johnson, and Albert Ammons. Next up is "Classic Blues & Vaudeville" with old-time turns from Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, Mamie Smith, Clara Smith, Sippie Wallace, Coot Grant & Sox Wilson, Butterbeans & Susie, Victoria Spivey, Alberta Hunter, Ida Cox, and Lizzie Miles. Rounding out the collection is "Urban Blues," a bit of a misnomer as the tracks only take us up to the 1940s with tunes by Washboard Sam, Tampa Red, Memphis Minnie, Big Bill Broonzy, Big Joe Turner, Sonny Boy Williamson I, Jimmy Rushing, and Billie Holiday rounding out this largely exemplary collection. A small, but informative, booklet, accompanies the discs and the transfers of much of the material are clean with decent sound considering the sources. ~ Cub Koda, Rovi
