CD REVIEWS

It is the goal of this page to feature recordings by Detroit based blues artists although national releases will be included as well. The releases listed are in most cases still available on the market. As blues recordings are often produced in limited quantities they may not be available for long. Hopefully, as time permits, we will be able to provide the reader with a substantial listing of the recordings by Detroit artists along with information on each. Please support the Detroit blues men and women by purchasing their product. If you have suggestions, additions or comments please contact Wolfgang Spider at: detroitblues@flash.net
