The Best of American Folk & Blues
~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 1 available)
Annotation
3CD digipack of a mix of "American Folk" and blues music; the quality of the transfers presented here range wildly, with some of them being a bit too loud and thus generating unnecessary distorition when compared to the original recordings or better transfers on other releases.
Track 15, CD2 is mis-credited to T-Bone Walker when it is actually Memphis Slim singing.
