Product Description: This stalwart independent label, headquartered in San Francisco, began in a small Ann Arbor club and grew into one of the most important imprints in blues. Thirty-three tunes ricochet between the potent old-school Chicago stylings of Buddy Guy and Junior Wells's classic "Hoodoo Man Blues" and Big Walter Horton'ss swinging shuffle "Put the Kettle On" to the intriguing pop-folk hybrid of Roy Rogers and Norton Buffalo and the dashing retro-nuevo guitarisms of Nick Curran & the Niteflies to the brawny Texas-schooled sounds of Omar & the Howlers and Smokin' Joe Kubek & Bnois King. The label's Delta blues side is underrepresented, although James Cotton and Elvin Bishop offer two great flavors of cottonland grind. But what's truly perplexing is that Blind Pig's historic recordings by Luther Allison, Johnny Shines, Jimmy Rogers, Charlie Musselwhite, Boogie Woogie Red (the label's first artist), and other significant musicians are omitted, while ham-fisted blues-rockers Tommy Castro and Albert Cummings and the mediocre Deanna Bogart and Duke Tumatoe get entries. Which makes this retrospective decidedly hit-and-miss. --Ted Drozdowski

Customer Reviews
Incredible Value
This is a great collection by itself or shuffled in your blues mp3 collection. The DVD sound is phenomenal as well with great live cuts giving lesser known artists their due. One of the best collection CDs I have. For this group of talented artists, great production and price, you can't go wrong.

I really enjoy this CD! It has Various Artists and all of them sound really good. I recommend that if their are any people that like a lot of blues CDs that this one would be really good. I recommend if you want to here some really great blues music you should buy this one.
Sincerely,
Brian Watts

blind pig
there is not much wrong with the CD ,but its a little more rock and roll than blues for me.

Could of been better
The highlights for me were" Nickel and a nail" by Otis Rush, and a duet by Delbert Mcclinton and Renee Austin called "Pretend we never met". The DVD extra was nice if only to Tommy Castro the rest was not so hot.

Blues
