The best on the market!
By KTD73
The other reviews focus on the flaws in this book, and there certainly are some. (My biggest problem is that the number of stars given to rate a certain album sometimes don’t match with the written reviews.) But overall there is so much wonderful and helpful information in this book that I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Good, but lacking in some areas
By Bowiebuff
As another reviewer pointed out, the omission of Chuck Berry is unbelievable, he is mentioned throughout repeatedly but does not have his own section (bio or discography). A few pretty well known recordings by artists included were omitted as well; the most glaring of these omissions would have to be Muddy “Mississippi” Waters Live, an album that many consider to be a blues classic. It is a very thorough book and I recommend it to any blues fan as its strong points far outweigh its weaker points, such as the aforementioned omissions.
