Covering a period from the mid 1950's through the early 1960's, this compilation features some of the most distinctive personalities of the blues world with an accent on the storytelling aspect of the blues experience. Songs of money won and love lost; longing and lust - cornerstones of the blues experience as relayed by some of the greatest bluesmen of all time including Albert King whose "Hand Me Down Blues" comes from his first ever recording session in 1953; Champion Jack Dupree's "I'm a Gamblin' Man," Lightnin' Hopkins' classic "Stool Pigeon Blues," H-Bomb Ferguson's rollicking "On My Way;" and more classics from John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, J.B. Lenoir, Memphis Slim, Otis Spann, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee and Big Bill Broonzy that reflect the best that the golden age of blues had to offer with songs that are not often found on other comps.
