Good, and I'd buy it again, but... Jan 8 2002
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
I like Blues, and I like Billie Holiday, but I don't think that Billie sang the blues. They put 7 of her songs on the 3 cd set, and they seemed incongruous to me. Especially considering all the other great women blues artists they could have chosen instead.

But, I do like compilations, and I think that this is was a good buy for someone who doesn't purchase many cd's (like me!)

Not the best choice. May 24 2001

This is good music no doubt. But... Some of these songs are mislabled. Outskirts of town- is not outskirts of town for instance. Looking back on it, I wouldn't buy it twice. I'd get 1 album for the same price by B.B. or Elmore James, or John Lee Hooker. These discs are about a half hour long A piece. Also as an avid blues fan, I have to ask- why is Billie Holiday on here? She's great and all, but I don't think she belongs here, though she takes up about 20 or more minutes.

Also, I know this is a different day and age and all but Alimony blues kind of turned my stomach. I had never heard it before and it was kind of a slap in the face. It was pretty open about the guy saying he hit his wife once or twice and is now mad about the divorice and alimony. I don't know why that hit me wrong seeing as how 30-20 blues, Boot Hill and Hey Joe never bothered me at all, but it might bother you too. So That's why I mentioned it.

It does have great Classics like B.B.'s Catfish blues version and Boom Boom, Goin' down slow, and The Sky is Crying. This is a decent blues starter album. But like I said, if you know you like the blues or a certain person in the blues, you might as well just pick a person and go with them rather than get this scattered around group of songs.

People that show up are Gatemouth Moore- Johnny Otis- Ray Charles- Joe Turner- Richard Berry- Elmore James [ Robert Johnson's disciple ] and Amos Milbourne. Hope that helped.
