Various Artists - Blues Masters, Volume 15: Slide Guitar Classics (1993)

Today marks the 15th anniversary of The CD Project and I looked around, saw this CD had a "15" somewhere on the spine, shrugged, and figured just go with it. This blues compilation is Volume 15 in an extensive blues series of CDs from Rhino which is slowly finding its way to my collection. Very similar to the slide guitar disc featured a few weeks back, this one focuses on blues tunes from 1928-1987. Like all the compilations in this series (so far), this one has some known tunes and artists while introducing me to others. As the liner notes by Cub Koda state:

This volume of Rhino's Blues Masters series features slide-guitar greats from a wide variety of times, places, and blues styles, covering a span of more that 50 years. Some of the names and tunes included here will be familiar, while others are truly the unsung heroes of the genre. Either way, it's some of the best slide playing you'll ever hear. Get the barbecue ready, the party's just starting.

Silly Cub, the barbecue is always ready in this house.
