This is a collection of early works that clearly illustrates why King became a blues icon. The tracks were recorded between 1949 and 1953 and they sound just great. The tunes range from relatively straight unadorned blues to pieces that swing. This is not one of those recordings that should be sold for the "historical significance". The music is strong and stands on its own by today's standards. This one stays in my player. Highly recommended for those you want to hear a master emerging in fine style. Sooo Sweeeet!
