Alligator records presents this impressing recording that includes two cds at a special prize, with a selection of some of the artists belonging to one of the most dearly loved contemporary blues and especially Chicago blues labels What can be said about this present Bruce Iglauer wants to offer to all blues lovers? Anything else, but only mention Alligator Records is one of the independent labels which has received most awards and recognition since it was founded thirty years ago A catalogue with more than two hundred items, thirty three Grammy nominations and sixty four WC Handy Awards for the label and artists Just fancy! The best blues musicians belong to the impressive Alligator catalogue and personally speaking I am really proud to have been the first person who wrote about Alligator records in Spain This was about twenty years ago on a disappeared jazz and blues Spanish magazine called Quartica Jazz
