| | Detroit Blues: Early 1950's - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) |
 | | These 15 tracks are tough, raw-edged, primitive urban blues from the Motor City. |
 | | John Lee Hooker is also aboard with the original "House Rent Boogie," providing a semi-comedic foil for the Detroit Count's hilarious two-part "Hastings Street Opera," One String Sam's eerie "I Need $100," and the set closer "Alabama Bus" by Brother Will Hairston, featuring Washboard Willie well to the fore. |
 | | Much cruder than the more polished sound of Chicago blues, this compilation highlights some of the very best that emerged from this early, embryonic period. |
