What's not to like ? For the music collector, an essential collection of American roots recording artists high-lighted in historical context. For the musician, an inclusive reference to the great practitioners of American Blues, Jazz, and country music. For the visual artist, a virtual feast of Robert Crumb illustrations in the unmistakable style only he could achieve. Introduction by Terry Zwigoff explains how and why this collection came into being. All this, plus an included bonus CD of timeless recordings of featured masters. Destined to become a collectors item -- a must-have for roots music lovers.
