ALLIGATOR BLUES

VA - Alligator's Crucial Blues Series [2003-2007] (9 x CD's)

A well-composed collection, which aims to show all the achievements of the gramophone company published by him, in our time weighs a lot - and tries to move into an understandable music lover with experience a state called a cult collection. And such a sensible blues collection weighs even more. Fortunately, the management of Alligator Records in the person of President Bruce Eiglauer and Vice President Bob DePuh - not just professionals, but also music fans, not at all lost passion for the subject of their business.

And if so, on such "bragging" collections they selected only the most dynamic and winning-sounding material, which is once again proof - "Last Dirty Deal" By Coco Motoya and "Hound Dog Man" By Lonnie Mack and Stevie Ray Vaughan with "... Crucial Rockin' Blues." No unrealized or boring compositions - the task of such CDs and is to captivate the buyer who is not yet particularly interested in the products of the company and, you see, turn it into a fan of their own artists - and there, of course, and in buyer of their albums. It is now very easy to fall under the spell of Alligator artists - with the release of the collections presented here, the total number of these artifacts of the series "Crucial Blues" has increased to nine. And even if you are not a fan of modern blues in all its possible forms and substyles - such albums are indispensable in the CD-collection of any self-described cultural person. (www.alligator.com)
