Various - Too Late Too Late Blues Newly Discovered Titles And Alternate Takes Volume 1 1926 1944
Review by Arturo Ancona Garcia
The album "Too Late Too Late Blues Newly Discovered Titles And Alternate Takes" by Various is a must-listen for any blues fan. The album features rare and previously unreleased tracks from some of the most iconic blues musicians of all time, including Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Sonny Boy Williamson.
The sound quality of the recordings is impressive, considering that many of the tracks were recorded over 50 years ago. The remastering has done an excellent job of bringing out the nuances in the performances, making it feel like the listener is in the room with the musicians.
The album is a treasure trove of blues history, with each track offering a glimpse into the life and times of the artists who created them. The alternate takes and unreleased tracks provide a unique perspective on the creative process, allowing fans to see how the artists evolved their sound over time.
