Various Artists - Blues Masters, Volume 6: Blues Originals (1993)

This blues compilation is Volume 6 in an extensive blues series of CDs from Rhino which is slowly finding its way to my collection. This set focuses on original recordings of often-covered blues tunes. As it says in the liner notes, "this time around, you get to hear who did 'em first, and sometimes the best." Great compilation, plus it's a fun game to figure out whose cover version I first heard.
