A Proper Introduction to Robert Johnson: Cross Road Blues (2004)

About this title: This single-disc, 29-track collection of Robert Johnson's blues is yet another in the countless dozens that have already been issued. While it adds nothing new -- simply because there is nothing new to add -- the package is attractive, the price is right, and the sound is as good as the Sony CDs. The other plus for a novice would be that there are no alternate takes or other track duplications. Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
