VA - Classic Blues from Bluesville [3 CD, 2014/FLAC]

 

Bluesville was a subsidiary of Prestige Records, and released many good blues albums over the years. This 3 CD set is a pretty good overview of the kinds of blues the label was recording and releasing. But another 3 CD set could easily be issued because there's so many great blues artists/songs available from that era.

Most of the blues on this compilation lean toward country blues, with a smattering of more sophisticated blues from people like Willie Dixon, Alberta Hunter, Victoria Spivey, and even Sunnyland Slim. Many of these artists you'll recognize--Lightnin' Hopkins, Memphis Slim, Pink Anderson, Big Joe Williams, Sonny Terry, Brownie and Sonny, Blind Willie McTell, Mercy Dee Walton, and others. Also included are a few female blues performers--Victoria Spivey, Alberta Hunter, Lucille Hegamin, and Mildred Anderson.
