My review

Level of familiarity before listening

I’ve never listened to this record before. I am familiar with some of the artists, but I don’t think I’ll recognize any of the songs.

What I expected

Memphis blues.

What it was actually like

Much like Nothin’ But The Blues by Johnny Winter that I reviewed yesterday, this was fine and not unenjoyable at all to blast on my sound system, but nothing about it really stood out and grabbed my attention as great.

All of the songs were in a slow blues style, with one vocalist, drums, harmonica and a (minimally amplified) guitar, and they were all good.
