The artists on this discprovide not only some fascinating blues in the 1930's styles but plenty of discographical and biographical mysteries. Their very excellence, coupled with their obscurity, demonstrates that the blues recorded in Chicago during that decade were capable of considerable depth and variety and should be not casually written off with reference to such stereotypes as the "Bluebird Beat" or the heavy hand of producer Lester Melrose.
