Acoustic blues, vol. 1 : the roots of it all : the definitive collection!

"Complementary to their set of "electric blues" of a few years back comes this group of four chronologically organized, double CD packages from Bear Family that deal with the history of acoustic blues ... One will find the usual suspects along with equally as many (or more) relative unknowns on each disc ... Listening to the CDs is a lot like having the greatest jukebox in the world on hand. Bill Dahl's excellent booklets give basic information on each artist, plus some commentary on each selection. Most of it deserves being here and all are entertaining to the max. Needless to say, the sound quality is superb and the packaging top-shelf".
