There is so much to love about Blues - Various Artists, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. This album has some very good songs like Remember (Alberta Adams) and Hard Time Gettin’ Started (Eddie Boyd). On the Croatia charts, superstar Blues - Various Artists’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. This is what good Blues should be.
Voice and instruments in Hard Time Gettin’ Started (Eddie Boyd) complement each other. Whose Muddy Shoes (Elmore James) is pretty funky and mellow. Eight Ball (Gus Jenkins) is really the reason why I recommend buying Little Walter - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2. Untitled Instrumental (Henry Gray and Morris Pejoe) is the more seemingly obscure song on Little Walter - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2 that bear up best to repeated listening. I Declare That Ain’t Right (Henry Gray) is the first taste of the new album. Evil (Howlin’ Wolf) marked the continuation of Blues - Various Artists in style evolution. I believe Forty Four (Howlin’ Wolf) is one of the most exquisite, heartfelt songs ever written. Mama Talk to Your Daughter (J. B. Lenoir) has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. Ice Cream Man (John Brim) still maintains something of a specific flourish. I like Walkin’ the Boogie (alternate; John Lee Hooker) because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. Blues with a Feeling (Little Walter) (3:08) - awsome. Don’t Need No Horse (Little Walter) - A classic Blues - Various Artists track. Fast Boogie (Little Walter) is a fine track on any terms. Got to Find My Baby (alternate; Little Walter) - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Blues - Various Artists. Outside of the singles, my favorite song on Little Walter - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2 is Juke (Little Walter). Reconsider Baby (Lowell Fulson) as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. Blues - Various Artists offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. Hoochie Coochie Man (Muddy Waters) - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. Who’s Gonna Be Your Sweet Man When I’m Gone (Muddy Waters) is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever. Funeral Hearse at My Door (Rocky Fuller) - another great track from the Little Walter - Chess Blues (1952-1954) - CD2 album. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. I’m Mad (Willie Mabon) is the albums biggest surprise. This track is just fantastic from start to finish.
