Deluxe Edition

I was missing this cd from my collection, happy to have it!

This CD is a compilation of previous releases. An excellent showcasing of a great blues harp man.

It just seems so unfair that a major talent like the late William Clarke toiled away so lovingly at his craft in relative obscurity (outside the blues world, that is), only to die at such an early age while drivel like the music of Barbara Steisand, Sting, and Madonna is lauded as some sort of offering from the gods. Well, while I get down off my soap box here, fans of blues harp (hell, blues in general) need to hear Clarke wail and this compilation is a good starting point. Another stellar Alligator release, "Pawnshop Bound," "Blowin The Family Jewels," and (chillingly) "Somebody Is Calling Me Home" all deliver the goods.

a great collection of the late william clarke songs by alligator records from pawnboker to the last cut you can hear the greatness that was only hitting the surface. if you love good time blues to the serious side of the blues this cd is a must for all blues/harmonica blues lovers

alot of slow music....I was hoping for a mix of blues, upbeat toe tapping included. the first song on the cd is great, then I found myself hitting the forward button.
