Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel: Bob DePugh, Bruce Iglauer (sampler). | | Photographer: Paul Natkin. | | This wide-ranging sampler from the venerable Chicago blues label Alligator Records features tracks by some of the genre's foremost artists, including the Texas blues of Albert Collins, W.C. Clark, and Long John Hunter, veteran Chicago musicians such as Lonnie Brooks and Luther Allison, and younger performers such as the Arkansas musician Michael Burks and the Buffalo guitarist Lucky Peterson. | | A sampler of artists who have done work for Alligator Records, More Crucial Guitar Blues is brimming with more roaring blues guitar leads than you can shake a stick at, although whether any of them is truly "crucial" in the long run could be a matter of debate. This set cooks, though, from start to finish, with Michael Burks' "One More Chance," Albert Collins' "Get to Gettin'," Long John Hunter's funky "Stop What You're Doing" and W.C. Clark's skipping and gleeful "Okie Dokee Stomp" being particular highlights. ~ Steve Leggett |
