VA - Screaming & Crying, 75 Masterpieces By 35 Blues Guitar Heroes [2012] +  Deep Feeling, 75 Masterpieces By 31 Blues Guitar Heroes [2014] (6 x CD's) 

VA - Screaming & Crying, 75 Masterpieces By 35 Blues Guitar Heroes [2012] contains 75 tracks from some of the greatest Blues guitarists of the 20th century. Compiled and annotated by Blues authority Neil Slaven, this set features 35 guitarists, ranging from legendary names like Lowell Fulson, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley and Freddy King, to less well known musicians equally appreciated by Blues connoisseurs.  This 3CD set incorporates all the early blues that influenced the great British blues movement in the sixties. Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Peter Green, John Mayall, Rolling Stones and many many more. What's more the popularity of British Blues started to make names like Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Bo Diddley, Elmore James, T-bone Walker, Albert King, Otis Rush, Muddy Waters, Freddie King, Chuck Berry, John Lee Hooker, Guitar Shorty household names otherwise they were a minority in the music world and found their fame mainly in the U.K. thanks to the upsurge of British Blues. Of course after their fame in the U.K. the U.S.A. stood up and took notice. This CD set has them all here and is an excellent way of introducing yourself to the blues and also here are a lot of the songs that influenced our stars of British Blues.  Rarely has the primal excitement of the electric blues guitar been so voraciously and expertly illustrated on one compilation than on "Screaming And Crying" a monumental homage to the music which shaped both his life and a whole generation.

VA -  Deep Feeling, 75 Masterpieces By 31 Blues Guitar Heroes [2014] is the second 3CD volume of post-war guitar blues from Fantastic Voyage and follows their hit Screaming And Crying collection with 75 more lovingly selected cuts. Alongside obvious names such as Buddy Guy, Bo Diddley, BB King and John Lee Hooker are gems from lesser-known players the likes of Lee Jackson, Eddie Kirkland and Goree Carter, whose Rock Awhile recalls the jump of proto-rocker Rocket 88. While pretty much anyone likely to buy this collection will already be familiar with Chuck Berry’s Too Much Monkey Business, it never hurts to hear it again. And if you stick  around, you’ll find buried treasure: Robert Ward’s underwater tremolo on the Ohio Untouchables’ Forgive Me Darling really is the sort of wonderful sound they don’t make any more – and haven’t done for quite a few decades, more’s the pity.  Essentially, these are the records that inspired the 60's, those thrilling sounds the baby boomers got hooked on before taking them back to the US. And while this may not be the most essential or revealing of collections, the cuts themselves are all good. Very good, in fact.(Record Collector)
