Guess most of the above tracks date from the 1930's thru to the 1950's.
I know Ace [[UK) put out a Detroit Blues CD that featured mainly 1950's recordings by the likes of Eddie Burns & others, but the above box set is a good price.

Anyone here know many of the tracks on the CD ?? Are they good ??

A lot of great Blues recordings there. Detroit [[like Chicago) had a lot of great Blues recording. Only it was less known, nationally.
