Continuing in the format of earlier volumes, the fifth installment in Chess' Blues series offers up 12 more cuts of prime '50s blues. Chicago heavy hitters like Muddy Waters, Little Walter, and Sonny Boy Williamson are included, along with the likes of Memphis Minnie, Percy Mayfield, and Lowell Fulson. There are also fine tracks by more obscure singers like Houston, TX-native Jimmy Nelson and longtime Chessman Eddie Boyd. John Lee Hooker's here too, hitting a solo groove with his guitar and inimitable boogie stomp.
