Our Take

Ah, strap in your boots and grab your moonshine, because we're stepping into the world of country blues with The Rough Guide To The Best Country Blues You've Never Heard. And let me tell you, this compilation is like stumbling into a dusty old saloon and finding a hidden gem of a jukebox playing all the classics you never knew you needed.

From the haunting laments of Blind Willie Johnson to the foot-stomping grooves of Blind Boy Fuller, this album is a treasure trove of forgotten blues masters. The raw, unapologetic emotion in these tracks hits you square in the heart, like a punch from a grizzled old cowboy who's seen it all.

What really sets this compilation apart is the sheer diversity of artists and styles on display. From the Delta blues of Son House to the Piedmont stylings of Elizabeth Cotten, each track offers a new perspective on the rich tapestry of country blues.

So, dust off your old record player, pour yourself a glass of whisky, and let The Rough Guide To The Best Country Blues You've Never Heard take you on a journey through the dusty backroads of American music history. Trust me, you'll be humming these tunes long after the music stops.

Verdict: 8.5/10 - A must-have for any blues aficionado looking to expand their horizons and discover some hidden gems from the past. Cheers to that, y'all.
