Audiophile blues...

Tomcy6:
I have the chess boxes of Muddy, Dixon and Howlin' Wolf. Great stuff. For some reason the CDs in the Muddy box have begun to physically deteriorate. On the playing side, and it started not long after purchase.
I have the Robert Johnson initial Box issue. I might try the one you mentioned. The sound quality on the first one contained just too much noise for me. Same with the Bessie Smith boxes.
Hoodoo Man Blues is indeed a classic. Chicago.

Thanks for you input and info.
Cheers

I withdraw my statement about the sound quality. I now realize I was thinking mainly of the REALLY old stuff from the 20s-30s like charley Patton, Robert Johnson and Bessie Smith etc...... My Bad.

I have the dbl vanguard lp...Best of the Chicago Blues...great stuff...just looking for other titles that would work better on an unforgiving system...all the best...

PS...I tend to gravitate towards classic, old school blues...be it Texas, Chicago, etc...not a big fan of popular or current blues...although im sure they are some gems...also have Chicago blues Today series(from back in the day)...nice!

Phasecorrect, Alligator Records put out several anniversary compilations of the type of blues I believe you like. I can’t speak to your unforgiving system, but I think they’re worth a shot at the prices I see them being offered on Amazon.
