Love stinks March 6, 2007
Heartbreak and love's tribulations have been with us since time's beginning, and so have those who write verse, prose and lyrics on the subject. This collection, MESSED UP IN LOVE AND OTHER TALES OF WOE, features laments of the questioning lover from sixteen early blues recording artists. Several songs here are just voice and guitar or voice and piano, but no matter the orchestration, the message is always clear: love hurts.

The contents of this COLUMBIA LEGACY album are transcriptions of 78s that were waxed between 1921 and 1944 (the Mamie Smith side being the only pre-electric recording). Source material is in generally good to fine condition. The CD's booklet includes recording dates, a few artist portraits and two pages of notes. A definite keeper.
