This is another series of blues compilations that furthered my interest in the blues. I first came across Crucial Guitar Blues about 3 years ago, and after enjoying every song on the album, I found out that there were 8 other albums, those being Crucial Acoustic Blues, Crucial Chicago Blues, Crucial Harmonica Blues, Crucial Live Blues, Crucial Rockin’ Blues , Crucial Slide Guitar Blues, Crucial Texas Blues, and More Crucial Guitar Blues.
These 9 CDs give the listener some of the best blues music that has
come out of the Alligator Records catalogue, some of these artists
being Albert Collins, Coco Montoya, Johnny Winter, Hound Dog Taylor,
Luther Allison, Lonnie Mack (With Stevie Ray Vaughan), Tinsley Ellis,
Sonny Landreth, Roy Buchanan, and many, many more. In total, over 60
bluesmen jam out to over 7 and a half hours of pure blues music. This
is another set of CDs that should be in every music fans collection;
whether you’re a blues aficionado or a newcomer to blues music, this is
the collection for you.
