An amazing addition to any blues collector's CD rack! The Chess Blues Collection box is a superlative 4-CD set, featuring important tracks by all the main stars of the label (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson), as well as previously unreleased material

101 cuts from the most important post-WWII blues label, including 19 unreleased recordings and over two dozen singles making their album debuts (which means those with every Chess re-issue only own about half this set!). All the big names-Muddy, Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy, Little Walter, Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker-are here, along with a 64-page book with track-by-track credits and rare pix. Superb.
