What can be said about a double album that includes Big Mama Thornton, Muddy Waters with Pinetop Perkins, Calvin Jones, Big Eyes Smith and George Harmonica Smith, Big Walter Horton with Johnny Nicholas and Ronnie Earl, Hollywood Fats with The Paladins, Calvin Owens with B B King, Jim Shuler and Alan Haynes, Bucks Henderson, Curly Barefoot Miller, George Harmonica Smith, Bob Kirkpatrick, Robert Ealey, UP Wilson with Tutu Jones, Jesse Thomas, Jimmie Vaughan, Holland K Smith, Texas Slim, Robin Sylar, Mike Morgan, Cricket Taylor, Rocky Athas… and some other impressive blues artists! Facing such a list, one can do nothing than comfortably sit and enjoy with all these monsters of Chicago and Texas blues, all of them great names of the most exciting and real blues you can imagine This double album gathers forty songs and is the way Topcat Records wanted to celebrate their 20th Anniversary There could not be anything better for all blues fans that publishing this real gem that should be valued in all its artistic and musical dimension, not in vain Topcat has had an outstanding very important role into the blues community and scene, not only in Dallas, Texas, but also around United States and abroad I do not dare to highlight some songs or artists, so my advice would be you calmly listen very carefully to both cds and let you be carried along by the true spirit of the most original and impressive blues
