Intended as an appetizer, this collection of blues tracks embraces both roots and current interpretations of the blues, and covers most of the major artists that both created and popularized the music. Many of the songs have been re-written/re-interpreted over the years, and the riffs and refrains should be familiar to anyone who has anything more than a passing interest in popular music.
