Kings Of New York Blues - Bluesmen In Session
For the first time on Jasmine's excellent "In Session" series sees the spotlight turned on several players as opposed to just one. Great names like Brownie McGhee, Sonny Terry, Bob Gaddy & Larry Dale got the majority of available studio work and across this compilation you can follow in a chronological order and see just how prolific they were. Here then are 29 examples of hard blues recorded in New York, a city certainly not normally associated with blues. Regardless of where these title were made it's still an outstanding collection of hard '50s blues by a collection of master musicians. Fully detailed liner notes.
