Review

This is a fine compilation of urban blues recorded by entrepreneur John Dolphin, owner of L.A.'s hippest "mom and pop" record store as well as several obscure but enterprising record labels (with names like Recorded in Hollywood, Lucky, Money and Cash). The disc includes nine tunes by Pee Wee Crayton, four by Memphis Slim, four by Jimmy Witherspoon, three by Percy Mayfield, and two each by Little Caesar, Floyd Dixon, and Peppermint Harris. ~ Roundup Newsletter, All Music Guide
