Indigo Blues Collection, Vol. 5 CD

This British label pulls from both sides of the fence for this fifth entry into the delights of their catalog. The 20 tracks are evenly split between old school heavyweights like John Lee Hooker, Memphis Minnie, Tampa Red, Roy Brown, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and Sonny Boy Williamson I, and British blues-rockers like Alan Price, the Brunning Hall Sunflower Band, Mick Abrahams, and Paul Lamb. A real bonus is the inclusion of "Blue River Rising" by the late and always unpredictable Duster Bennett, certainly one of the most authentic and far-seeing of all the British bluesmen. Tracks by Gus Cannon (the original version of "Walk Right In"), Mahalia Jackson, Otis Grand, Johnny Whitehill, Jerry Portnoy, and Ruby Turner complete the package. ~ Cub Koda
