To turn on new listeners or as an all-encompassing observation as to why so many of us love the blues this box set is just about as successful as they come. Each dedicated to a particular style, the three discs open with folk blues, cd2 is delta and country blues, and cd3 urban blues.The set begins with Folk Blues and the first song combines an American field holler with a Senegalese field song - showing remarkable similarities. This more or less sums up the contents of this CD - the roots of the blues are in Africa. Surprisingly pieces from Buffy Sainte-Marie and Bill Monroe are bang in the Folk Blues tradition.The second two discs are crammed with scorching performances from the giants of the field, people such as John Lee Hooker, Skip Jones, Muddy Waters, Junior Wells, Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, Lightnin' Hopkins and Gary Davis.
