Customer Reviews

Ultimate Blues - really?
This is another typical compilation. All the usual recordings that the publisher can get cheap and we've seen on so many other compilations. Some good songs on there but ultimate - really? I don't think so......

Big mistake!
Ok, I admit, I got this album from Amazon because the price was good, but, and it is a big but, there are some tracks (Johhny B Good, Walk the Line) which I would not class as Blues.
There are other, better compilations out there, and really more fool me for buying this.
It isn't 'ultimate' and it certainly isn't all Blues.
