Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)
The Golden years of the Blues In this collection of blues, Otis Rush displays the vocal and instrumental talent similar to Freddy King. His style is somewhat more homespun, especially with numbers like She's a Good'un.The sound recording is not perfect but the feeling is there.This C.D. is a must for any serious Blues fan.

If you've never heard this early stuff - '56-'58 - before, give it a listen and see if you hear Michael Bloomfield, Peter Green, Paul Butterfield and many other blues artists that emerged in the 60's! Listen to Fleetwood Mac's (Peter Green) Love That Burns and then listen to Rush's Double Trouble! This is seminal stuff that influenced hundreds of blues guitarists and other blues artists as well. I hear Bloomfield licks in My Baby Is A Good 'Un and Groaning The Blues is the classic Butterfield style. Absolutely necessary for a complete blues collection!

$26.79 Country has been called the white man's blues, but the phrase has probably only been truly accurate when applied to the so-called hillbilly records from the 1920s and 1930s, the period and genre covered by this four-disc, 100-track anthology from JSP. Not that everything here is actually blues (the string band selections in particular are really dance reels that happened to have the word "blues" in the title), and a fair portion of these cuts don't have any real geographical association with the Southern mountains, either, but you have to give a box set a title, so Mountain ...
