Review by Steve Leggett

A sampler of artists who have done work for Alligator Records, More Crucial Blues is brimming with more roaring blues guitar leads than you can shake a stick at, although whether all or any of them is truly "crucial" in the long run could be a matter of debate. This set cooks, though, from start to finish, with Michael Burks' "One More Chance," Albert Collins' "Get to Gettin'," Long John Hunter's funky "Stop What You're Doing" and W.C. Clark's skipping and gleeful "Okie Dokee Stomp" being particular highlights.
