[Mike · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have always been a big fan of the blues and am always looking to add music to my collection. This is a guide to the blues and helps select which CD's are worth buying so you can get the good ones and forget the bad ones. Like all "guides" they go out of date after a number of years as new artists come along... J want to get me a new copy for Christmas?
