When the Levee Breaks: Mississippi Blues - Rare Cuts 1926-41

Zelfs de doorgewinterde bluesfanaat zal op deze 4cdbox nog wel wat van zijn gading vinden. Neil Slaven heeft een prachtige verzameling zeldzame nummers bij elkaar gezocht en laat daarmee en passant horen dat er onder de noemer Mississippi-blues heel wat diversiteit te vinden is. Met muzikanten als Joe McCoy (de componist van de Led Zeppelin klassieker When the Levee Breaks), Mississipi Moaner en Joe Calicott wordt er diep in de archieven gegraven. Prachtig!
