Great Blues Guitarsists: String Dazzlers
Ten excellent blues guitarists are heard on 20 selections dating from 1924-40 on this enjoyable CD reissue from the Columbia/ Legacy series. Included are Sylvester Weaver (the first blues guitarist to record an unaccompanied solo), the team of Lonnie Johnson & Eddie Lang (who are heard on a pair of duets and with singer Texas Alexander , the influential Big Bill Broonzy (superb on "How You Want It Done?" , the always passionate Blind Willie Johnson Blind Willie McTell Casey Bill Weldon Blind Lemon Jefferson ("Black Snake Moan"), Joshua White and Tampa Red Three previously unheard selections are included on this fine overview but completists will probably prefer to skip over the set in favor of the more comprehensive Document CD's. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
