JSP's New Orleans Guitar compiles four CDs of performances by Smiley Lewis, Guitar Slim and T-Bone Walker. It's hard to go wrong with these 102 recordings cut between 1947 and 1955. The tracks have been remastered, making the majority of this material sound great. Unlike other packages of this type, the liner notes are informative, listing personnel, dates, and a concise history without going on ad nauseam. - Review by Al Campbell, allmusic.com
