"One might suppose that historical Chicago blues has run its course in attraction to fans because of all the sets released through the years. But don't miss Sweet Home Chicago ... Remastered in sound, these mostly obscure tracks recorded between 1945 and 1962 testify to the communicative spirit of 46 performers. Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Big Bill Broonzy, Elmore James and several more musicians set the standard by which Windy City blues of the era is measured".
