Customer Reviews

Great songs, inaccurate packaging
The music merits 5 stars and are well worth having. (Listen carefully to the lyrics of "Ain't That A Mess.") That being said, there are major mistakes and omissions in song identification of which you need to be aware before purchasing:

-The first song is incorrectly attributed to Connie McLean's Rhythm Blues when it is actually Kokomo Arnold;
-Speckled Red's "Dirty Dozens" is not on this CD, so all but the last of the titles/artists need to shift up one;
-Song 24 is "Stew Meat Blues" by Lucille Bogan, and is not credited anywhere on the CD.
