Title: A Collection Of Old Ragtime And Boogie Woogie Recordings.
Review: This is a collectors' album. There, I've said the code words indicating that the album has issues. This 2 CD set of Ragtime and Boogie Woogie songs were recorded back in the 1920's, 1930's, and 1940's, before mastertapes and the words "high fidelity" were even invented, so you have to put up with the sometimes scratchy sound and low fidelity. It's time to put your tone controls or graphic equalizer to work and experiment to find the best settings to make the music more presentable. Put a note listing the best settings inside the CD case for future reference. These recordings are so old and out of print that you won't find them anywhere else, but they show the feelings and intensity of the oldtime performers trying to scratch out a living doing what they do best. Could the sound quality on the album have been better? Who knows. It is what it is. Let's all be grateful that these original recordings are still available.
