I have never been a big fan of this kind of blues. I call it "Slick Blues." If you're looking for some dirty, homegrown blues, check out Maria Muldaur. If you want something that sounds more produced (maybe even over-produced) and has guests such as Gary Moore, Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood, Mick Taylor, Billy F. Gibbons, Jonny Lang, Otis Rush, Steve Cropper, Steve Miller and Jeff Healey among others, this CD is probably well worth your money.
