![]() Well, in my own inimitable way, I've made it easy on you and compiled 25 essential albums that are representative of a wide range of the blues for your aural edification. Or, perhaps you are blooming blues aficionado and you've heard a song or two from a certain artist but you don't want to fork out $30 or $40 for some four CD set that might include three or four versions of the same song lifted off scratchy 78 rpm recordings from different sessions in the 1930s. With so many questionable compilations and egregious greatest hits packages that have proliferated over the years, who will help you navigate the Amazonian jungle of releases? What to do, my dears, what to do? Maybe you are acquainted with the blues well enough to know that the first two Led Zeppelin albums were basically written by Willie Dixon, Sonny Boy Williamson II and Howlin' Wolf, but you'd like a taste of the original versions of the songs. ![]() ![]() Let's say you just started listening to blues music, and you enjoy the genre, but you're not quite sure where to turn next.
