This volume of the excellent “In Session” series sees the spotlight turned on several players as opposed to just one. Great names like Brownie McGhee, Sonny Terry, Bob Gaddy and Larry Dale got the majority of available studio work and across this collection you can follow in a chronological order and see just how prolific they were. Here then are 29 examples of hard blues recorded in New York, a city certainly not normally associated with blues. Regardless of where these title were made, it’s an outstanding collection of hard ‘50s blues by a collection of master musicians. Accompanying booklet includes fully detailed liner notes.
