Our Take

Title: Various Artists – The Alligator Blues Collection Rating: 7.6 Ah, The Alligator Blues Collection, a compilation that's as wild as a swamp gator on a Saturday night. This album is like taking a trip down the Mississippi River, with each track dripping in sweat, whisky, and a whole lot of soul. The opening track, "Big Mama Thornton's Hound Dog," is a classic blues number that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Thornton's powerhouse vocals are enough to make you want to strut down the street like you own the place. As you delve deeper into the collection, you'll come across gems like Buddy Guy's "Damn Right, I've Got the Blues" and Koko Taylor's "Wang Dang Doodle." These tracks are pure gold, showcasing the raw talent and passion of these legendary artists. But it's not just the old school blues that shines on this album. Modern artists like Shemekia Copeland and Tommy Castro bring a fresh twist to the genre, proving that the blues is still very much alive and kicking. Overall, The Alligator Blues Collection is a must-listen for any blues enthusiast. It's a rollercoaster ride of emotions, from heartbreak to triumph, all set to a killer soundtrack. So grab a glass of whiskey, sink into your armchair, and let the blues wash over you like a warm summer rain. Trust me, you won't regret it.
