There have just arrived these two Alligator label records, which belong to a trilogy (together with another one devoted to harp players) that gather some of the most outstanding moments of the artists who normally record for Alligator, with songs belonging to their other cds, but that have an special significance As usual, the selection has been cleverly done It has been of special significance the idea of publishing three separated cds, two of them devoted to both most important blues instruments, guitar and harp, and the third one to Alligator artists playing the most genuine blues, It will be quite long to mention all powerful guitar players included in the Guitar volume, but I cannot resist myself to name some of the artists gathered in Chicago cd such as Junior Wells, Hound Dog Taylor, Carey Bell, Magic Slim, Pinetop Perkins, or Fenton Robinson among the twelve historical high quality names Two basic records for real Chicago blues lovers
