“
In the time period represented (1945-1956), New York City was one of America's recording hubs for blues/R&B. However, unlike Chicago or Memphis, New York didn't have a defining "sound". Artists who recorded in New York had ended up there from all over the eastern seaboard, and across the rest of the continent as well. So the music on this set represents a fairly wide-ranging selection of postwar blues. On the first disc you have the acoustic country/ folk-blues of Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry. These are early "solo" recordings of each (though they were playing on each other's records even at this point) that aren't as widely-anthologized as their work billed as Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee from the 50s and 60s. The second and third discs feature a few songs each by a number of lesser-known bluesmen (though the included set lists reveal that some of their accompanying musicians are much better known - Brownie McGhee, Sonny Terry, Lonnie Johnson and Champion Jack Dupree for instance). These range from Wynonie Harris/Big Joe Turner-style blues shouting by Bob Gaddy, New Orleans-style blues from "Duke Bayou" (with Dupree on the ivories), ramshackle, Chicago-style blues from Leroy Dallas and Alonzo Scales (and yes there is amplification), and other harder-to-pigeonhole styles from Big Chief Ellis, Square Walton, and the mysterious "Sonny Boy & Lonnie". The fourth disc contains recordings by a man named Edward Harris under a variety of pseudonyms, who sounds just a bit like a deeper-voiced Lightnin' Hopkins. Not all of them are shockingly original, but all are quite listenalble and give an enjoyable survey of lesser-known postwar blues.

this is a JSP set, meaning good-to-excellent sound quality on all tracks, brief but detailed information on who plays what on each track, notes where the musicians and their music came from, and four full-packed discs of music for a very reasonalbe price. I'm glad I purchased the set.
