Houston Might Be Heaven

Houston (TX) was in de eerste jaren na WO II een echte hotspot met veel independent labels, studios en natuurlijk clubs. JSP heeft op deze 4-cdset een selectie gemaakt met blues en r&b uit die tijd, met veel onbekend materiaal. De groten (Little Willie Littlefield, Big Mama Thornton, Peppermint Harris) staan hier gemoedelijk naast de minder bekenden. Een stevig swingend geheel, dat in geen bluescollectie mag ontbreken.
