A dozen classic blues performances from the bursting-at-the-seams riches of the Chess vaults. A pair each from
Howlin' Wolf ("Back Door Man" and "Little Red Rooster") and Sonny Boy Williamson ("Your Funeral and My Trial" and "Bring It on Home") are rounded out with equally stellar cuts from
Muddy Waters,
Koko Taylor,
Little Milton,
Etta James,
John Lee Hooker,
Otis Rush, and
Elmore James. Together, they amounts to a pretty garden variety song selection, but if you
don't have any, or most, of these tracks, it's well worth picking up.
