Review:
Another fantastic compilation from Rough Guides
This is yet another fantastic compilation from Rough Guides.
Barrelhouse was a
piano-based blues form which morphed into boogie-woogie and is real
good time music. As ever, Rough Guides have collected the obscure
and the well-known to form an authoritative and hugely enjoyable from
the rough and ready (but terrific) beginnings to the sophistication
of piano geniuses like Albert Ammons and Pete Johnson.
The sound is as good
as can be expected from recordings of this vintage, and sometimes
surprisingly excellent and you simply can’t go wrong here. If you
have any interest in this sort of music, don’t hesitate – this is
brilliant.
