3 CD Box Set 1926-2002
Blues
Indigo's three-CD set Blowing the Blues perfectly fits the bill for someone just becoming acquainted with the expressive and versatile use of the harmonica in both acoustic and electric settings. It's hard to go wrong with these 71 tracks highlighting all the major changes in the genre recorded between 1926 and 2002. While not intended for the die-hard blues aficionado, who more than likely already owns the majority of this material, Blowing the Blues is nevertheless a highly recommended set that includes everyone from Jaybird Coleman and the Memphis Jug Band to Paul deLay and Paul Lamb.

If you are into blues harmonica this is an excellent collection of songs nicely contained on a boxset of 3 CDs. As I am "new" to blues history, I experienced the 1st CD as slightly obscure - but keep in mind the boxset mentions this is about the history of the blues harmonica, thus the 1st CD has songs from the 1920s. The other 2 CDs are brilliant and you will certainly not be disappointed in the quality of the recordings and compelling blues harmonica. If you are a beginner blues harmonica player there is much inspiration to found on the 3 CDs. I am not disappointed and heartily recommend this boxset. In my opinion it is excellent value for money.
