COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Pretty Good submitted by KidBlue on December 12, 2016, 5:43pm A very thin introduction to the Blues. It tries to be historical, but leans too heavily on blues artists from the rock era. Hence no room is left for Albert King, T-Bone Walker, Sonny Boy Williamson, or any of the major acoustic blues artists after Robert Johnson, so there is no Blind Blake, Bill Broonzy or Mississippi John Hurt, just to name a few.

A taste of the Blues submitted by kencza on July 29, 2023, 6:29pm Good selections from many very talented performers, a broad variety of the blues. Listen to the other discs in this series and ones from these individuals for a wider look into the genre
