Title: Brief but good
Review: This is a rather brief compilation, as is usually the case with the Millennium Collections, but the track list is very strong. There are no real rarities to bait the hook for experienced blues listernes, but this is a nice introduction if you are new to classic 50s and 60s blues.It features some really fine songs by some of the best and most renowned Chicago bluesmen, including Muddy Waters' swaggering "I Just Want To Make Love To You", Buddy Guy's smouldering, intense "First Time I Met The Blues", "Talk To Me Baby" by slide guitar legend Elmore James, Sonny Boy Williamson II's swinging "Checkin' Up On My Baby", and Howlin' Wolf's awesome "Killing Floor".As far as "samplers" go, this is one of the best of its kind, and it showcases some great guitar work, not only by the main artists themselves, but also by superb sidemen like Hubert Sumlin and Robert "Jr." Lockwood.4 1/2 stars.
