DOWN HOME BLUES CLASSICS - Chicago 1946-1954

ONE OF THE BEST BOX SETS OF DOWN HOME CHICAGO BLUES . I know this set is rapidly going out of print. That's too bad, for on these four discs is some of the best, and rarest, blues from Chicago during the years stated above. From Grace Brim, John Brim, to J.B. Hutto, Floyd Jones, to Little Walter and Muddy Waters,to Snooky Prior, to Johnny Shines, to many others relatively unknown, this set is one of the finest compilations of its kind.

All the sets from this label are disappearing, which is a shame. The box sets and the 2 CD sets are all worthwhile, with a lot of great, sometimes rare music, all with great graphics. Purchase this box set, and any other sets that are still in circulation before they're all gone. Music this good should be more widely known, no matter if you're a long time blues listener, or are just getting into this wonderful music. These sets will have a spot in any blues listeners collection. (Amazon)
