Title: Instrumental pot-pourri mixes too many flavors
Review: Presumably Blind Pig has more instrumental material in its catalog than what it presents here, and it might have been better to issue a couple of blues instrumental albums each with two or three tracks from each artist rather than this hodgepodge with its jarring transitions, for example from Charlie Musselwhite to Deanna Bogart, or from Chubby Carrier to Magic Slim. The recording quality varies widely. As for truth in advertising, the CD isn't as bare as it claims; the very first song includes a vocal chorus. These defects are almost compensated for by the cover photography, however, which one hopes will be to a new generation what "Whipped Cream and Other Delights" was to mine.
